Good question. I think of this alot too. For me, I'm afraid right now I've only got one in the right place and that is Spiritual. Thank God for my Faith, most days I feel it is the only thing getting me through.
Physically. I'm not taking care of myself. I've lost 25 lbs (luckily I had it to lose, and I'm now at my original weight I was when H and I started dating 12 years ago). Because I still have the girls to care for, I am cooking well, but I just have no appetite. And sleep, well it hasn't really happened either. I need to start working on this area.
Financially. I've been a stay at home mom for 7 years, so I'm totally dependant on him, and am overwhelmed and now trying to get back in the work force, and hoping I can earn what I need to stay in our current house so the girls don't have to change houses, schools, friends etc along with everything. This has been VERY daunting to me, and stressful.
Emotionally........ still basket case. H just moved out yesterday, so I'm hoping when I don't see him constantly I can start to get stronger. I was seeing an IC, but she was one of those "listener" types, and really gave me no input more than my friends and family can do. So I'm now in the hunt for a new counselor that will be more solution bases. Hoping this well help me feel stronger. I need to get stronger in this area for my girls so much, and hoping Gal and the separation will help, but I admit....2 months in, I think I'm as devesated as I was the day the bomb dropped. I have never felt weak in my life, but I feel just so broken emotionally right now.
Lots of work to do here I'm afraid.
