LL,

it sux to be you now and we know, b/c we've been there, done that.

Here are some GAL things in Alaska and though what I did that may sound nutty I did what I had to do. I had a newborn at the time.

Some of these things cost a lot but most didn't.

Auditioned for parts in theater, and got some.

Did stand up comedy and got invited back (now I write comedy as an avocation).

Joined a writer's group.
Took a pottery class (very different for me, as I'm not "craftsy".)

Took flying lessons and got my pilot's license.

Volunteered at a woman's shelter and got appointed to the Board of Directors, which later helped my resume.

Joined the Wives Club. (A surprisingly fun group).
worked out-got in shape!
did a tanning booth

saw a therapist and went on meds
learned to hunt and fish, pretty well.

Learned to snowmachine.

Took skiing lessons and skiied regularly to get OUTSIDE.

Did PTA and parent's boosters.

Volunteered for son's wrestling board to raise funds and planned events.

You will have to force yourself to do many of these things.

But you will NOT regret any thing that gets you out of the rut and the stinking thinking...

and you will grow and yes, you will get to the other side. Somedays though

you will need to push yourself. I'm telling you to trust me on that.

You will be glad to see the new real you again.

((( )))
