thank you so much for responding.. it helps just to know someone understands. I have thought of deleting my facebook account but can't quite do it. I am trying to make my own plans and avoid all contact. I went on a 14 K run with a friend out in the Cascade mountains and that was great..but it is so hard to come home to an empty suite all by myself. Even though I felt I made this heroic attempt to GAL. I just ache.. with the effort of wading through this pain all the time. I want to figure out how to make it diminish..but even when I do the right things.. it is still there. What helps??
