Sorry you're feeling beat up tonight...I think you hit the nail on the head when you say you just need time.
I too am in piecing, and can vouch that the changes are imperceptable, and that if you just grit your teeth and keep moving in the direction you want to go, even just an inch at a time, one day you'll find that your feelings ARE different, that your sitch is different, that the pain is no longer so raw or strong and it's been replaced with other thoughts and feelings.
Gratitude and forgiveness make all the difference. But they too take time.
