Moving past the WAW-MCL to a stronger me

[Davide]

Today is rough. Second Sunday in a row. I slept OK last night. But today I can't get the thoughts out of my head. I feel lonely and sad and hopeless. I went to the gym and am on a group bike ride so I am doing the right things but it isn't helping.

I keep reading that you have to experience the emotions, go through them rather than trying to distract yourself or avoid them. I wonder if I have been avoiding recently, just denying them and playing strong because that is what I need to be for myself and to maintain any hope in R. How do I let myself sit with emotions without wallowing, without going down the same cheeselse's tunnels, without losing myself in the beautiful memories we shared?

It's at moments like this that I wonder if this isn't just too hard.
