One thing I've learned in the last 3 hours is not to be alone.
I know that sounds silly, but especially when you're raw, always have a place to go or someone you can call. I'm all alone, the girls and my STBXW are out of town, and this house is so quiet and lonely.
So just like I have a mental "Panic Button" for when I don't want to say something to my W that I'll regret, I need a Panic Button for when I'm losing it.
Staying home, trying to figure out what to do, even being online is not the answer. Doing something, anything is better. Batting cages, bookstore, coffeeshop, volunteer work. If you can see on your schedule that you have alone time, squash it like a bug. Stay busy, make yourself busy, so you don't have time to mope and feel sorry for yourself.
I feel you. My W left for a MIL visit with S4 and wont be back for 10 days. this house is so cold and lonely.
