I'm sorry, I've been meaning to weigh in for a few days now.
First of all, just so you don't feel alone. Let me tell you that I frequently fantasize about taking a week off from work and just curling up in bed the whole time. It sounds absolutely blissful to me as I am weary to my bones.
Don't feel guilty about taking the nap if you need it.
My dear - you do sounds depressed, which would certainly be completely normal under the circumstances. How is the weather there right now? Try to get outside and catch some sunlight if you can.
And regarding your earlier posts about the need to truly let go of the marriage......well that's a fine line to walk for those of us who have children, because the WAS's life will continue to intersect with ours both physically and emotionally where the kids are concerned. We can't ever really let go because of that, and the process of redefining our roles is truly painful and confusing.
MB- Have you ever thought about going back to school to finish your Masters? I remember you saying that goal was interrupted during the marriage. I ask, because I'm in the process of doing the same - and I have to say - I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by the amount of reasonable aid that was available to me (filing as Head of Household really impacts that financial aid). Yes - you would have to take on additional debt - but depending on the field you are in - it might be worth it and I would love to see you invest in yourself.
I'm thinking about you. I know you're in a tough spot right now. I truly do. But I've been reading your posts for over a year now , and I also know you are a capable and talented lady who has good things ahead of her.
