Hi kelela,

Was reading your thread and wanted to stop by to send support and best wishes your way!

"1st I really have to work on stop worrying about if and when H will be home. 2nd I need to start sleeping much better at nights. 3rd I need to start making myself into the better person for myself and my boys. 4th as soon as I can afford it I really want to have a make over to improve the way I look and how i feel about myself. And most of all I really need to give H all the space I can give him to run his course with OW and to stop all communications with H until he speaks to me first tomorrow is going to be a new day heading to the gym in The morning then to work after that."

All of those sound like great ideas! Even a mini-makeover could do wonders! I get on Pinterest a lot to look up outfit refresher ideas with things I already have in my closet, or how to buy one new piece (like a great top or skirt) and wear it multiple ways with things I already own. Also, going and getting a new lipstick or nail polish in a fun color may help brighten up your appearance and make you feel good. Again with Pinterest (haha, I love that site!), I get a lot of hairstyle and hair do ideas as well as make up tricks. I haven't done this yet, but I have a friend who goes to garage sales almost every weekend and gets really cute tops and outfits for really cheap - and a lot of the clothes still have tags on them!

Exercise will also be a good outlet for some of your stress and anxiety. To quote Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy."
