Thanks, Telemark! Wanted to let you know that I skimmed through your thread recently. I think that we have a lot in common when it comes to our sitches. Hoping for the best for you, bud.
Actually, the free breakfast doesn't have anything to do with my review. The first one was for all staff of my credit union; we came together to chow down and to hear the CEO talk briefly about the state of things. The second was because I have been appointed as a safety committee member at my branch. There's usually little more to report than people falling down or tripping. We talked more about upcoming movies than anything.
Wanted to add that I picked up a copy of "Journey From Abandonment to Healing" because I've heard so many other DB-ers testify to its expert advice on detachment. I've only just started, but so far, it's speaking volumes about how okay it is to feel as lost and devastated as we all have. It has nothing to do with weakness or being flawed. It's a natural reaction to something like this. That, my friends, feels very good to know.
I hadn't gotten out and exercised since last week. Usually I make a point to exercise on my off-days, but I was too depressed and emotionally flattened after Saturday's events to do anything productive. Tonight, however, I took advantage of the cool evening weather and jogged for a while, then came home and did some strength exercises. Gotta keep those endorphins flowing.
