Hi Lisa,

Thanks for stopping in. I'm feeling a little better today. The thought stopping seems to be limited in its helpfulness...I can get myself going into quite a bit of obsessing! I think an activity as a distraction is probably a better strategy, when I can motivate myself into that action step.

I was reading through various threads over the last few days and find some validation in my experiences. Also, I had lunch with a friend today who was supportive. When I talked about W. I found myself thinking this whole thing was pretty weird in the way it unfolded. It's helped to reaffirm that so much of this was about W.. I was telling my friend it would have been helpful to me to hear her say "look I have made some choices that have really hurt you" but she said that that would mean she'd have to acknowledge so many other things, including looking at her own stuff. Sigh, that's true.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little better today, which is good. Thanks for stopping in.
