Hi zig - glad to see your coming back to share again. Thanks for writing. I was doing better, I think I back slided a little.
Some of my older post really show some real progress on my part. I reached a strong point of getting out of my fog, my zombie state, that I have been in for many months.
I'm not back that far but I am at an insecure point where, your right, I need my H love and attention. I really hate it...I was almost to the point of no control.
It's easy to say I really don't want that life back or h, and I do mean it for the most part. It's just so hard to actually go through with it, to really take those steps toward something not h or m related.
I know I am on the right track and feeling the very scary reality of what's ahead otherwise I wouldn't be in such a frenzy!
I've said go, do what you gotta do so many times that it has no meaning. I have even said stop telling me your leaving, he said when he says that it means nothing. So we are stuck!
I did get to that place once before a few weeks back not caring about him, not worrying all day or wondering but really enjoying my day. If I've been there once (and really loved it) I will get there again.
I am going to look into meditation. I have never done it nor can I do yoga, I'm more the ipod run on the treadmill type. But, I think I need to learn how to relax before I react.
Yesterday I was glued to H, talking, crying, and I even knew some things I said were out of habit, I don't mean them anymore. Even to say ILY to him ( i dont) would feel forced, fake. I never say I want him back or to be with me, he just interprets my actions as so. I think my rant is a release in some sort of crazy, self deprecating way that I actually learn from and felt better from in the end.
I'm better today but I learned how much it's the rejection I hate. I also learned it's the fantasy of our forever after I am fighting for, the idea in my head that it was until death do we part, love everlasting.
H is not good today and though I am sorry that I'm the one who pushed him into a depression with him saying he can't believe he's treating me like this, I also don't care because he has options.
I'm a slow work in progress but I am learning every step of the way!
Great to have you back!!!!!!!
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
