Hi V, Thanks so much for your responses. So much to chew on and mull over.
Yes, I realise that directed, purposeful anger works better for me than either despondence or undirected anger.
This is what I have to remember: to make use of the momentum provided by the anger to fuel my determination and propel myself out of the ruts and the ditches.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
