What to do when Husband's Gone & Makes No Contact?

[Gardener]

its only been 2.5 weeks since my H left! i cant imagine months more of this..itll drive me crazy! sigh.

beepee, I know how you feel. We all do. It was driving me crazy for 6 months pre-DB. In a month - tomorrow - since Dbing 'It is driving me crazy" somehow became "I'm letting it (read allowing it', better yet, empowering it to) drive me crazy. How? By doing the work anyway, Sporadically, reluctantly, at first, but doing it.

i would love to go to the gym again today..but i got 3 horribly huge blisters from yesterday because i had to break into my new sneakers..its going to be painful to even put my foot into the shoes today! but the physical pain doesnt even compare to the emotional distress im in.

For me wallowing got old. For me and especially for those around me. One of those around me was my youngest son to whom I used to say (as I did to the other three) as he grew to manhood and would face challenges, "Are you going to say, 'I didn't because,' or ' I did despite,'?"

so yeah, im gonna go to the gym later on today.
i think maybe ill clean our bedroom..

Good. I hope you did. If not (wallowing), forgive yourself and do it or something else tomorrow. Despite...

You can do this. You must do this.

Stepping off soapbox, now...
