Dear IB - I don't know if it helps, but I feel exactly the same. I think we must learn to believe all those who have been through the same journey and know that we will get through it. Even though it feels impossible at times. And the exhaustion of over-thinking and analyzing everything they say and do ... oh my goodness... don't you just want your brain to stop?! Walking (as Grace suggested to me) really does help. Although I've just been through another low due to friends letting me know that they saw H with OW 'looking happy, with his arm around her'. Spiraled me into an emotional tail-spin (he refuses to admit there is OW). Found myself yearning to be reclusive again. The kids were all busy and out of the house ... a real struggle for me to pick myself up. But I have. I'm amazed that reading through all the resources that I've got from DBing (especially those one-liners; pearls of wisdom and advice). Tonight, I feel more content. I'm still working to halt negative thoughts (ANY ADVICE ON THAT ONE WOULD BE BRILLIANT, but so much better than I was three four days ago. You are in my thoughts and prayers Irish.x
