I know I'll get there... And I know I'll have plenty of rough patches along the way...
But look at how many rough patches I've already had! And I'm still here, trudging through them and noticing a new strength whenever there's an obstacle in my rear view mirror...
I know it's much easier these days, thanks to the darkness, and I'm sure it will get tougher if she ever decides to reach out... but I'm not worried about that, because I know I'll have new tools whenever that happens. And I'll be at a different point than I am today.
I see lots of talk about medications on other threads, and in all honesty, I've never considered them... at least not seriously... My IC agrees that they're unnecessary in MY sitch, as I'm normally able to use my "negative" emotions in a positive way... i.e. I'll write something, hit the gym, run with the doggie or sometimes just sit and think about it for a while...
For me, there's a solace in getting through these down and depressing times... it makes the good times seem that much better I suppose... But I KNOW that there are plenty of people in plenty of other situations that absolutely need a helping hand... so there's no judgement here.
Anyway, having a fine day... work is busy and I have a few more interesting assignments coming across my desk... so that's fun!
