Paco, hang in there. 8 months is not a long time when it comes to this.

I rarely comment on other people´s threads as well. Sometimes only when I can offer words of encouragement or give advice for something that has worked for me.

The one thing I can say is that I have changed my perception when it comes to difficult things happening to me. For example, first time I saw my W on the street with another man. That had been my biggest fear and I was hoping I never got to see that. But I did, and you know what? I survived and as a result, it made me stronger mentally.

So anything bad that happens, I welcome it these days as I see them as opportunities to grow. But don´t get me wrong, I feel anxiety and pain when it happens. That can not be avoided. But when you manage to calm yourself, focus and be strong, push through it, it doesn´t just help you at that moment, you gain something that you will never lose.

And a bit of a cliche maybe but try to think of things you can be grateful for. You can work remotely for example. So many people right now have no idea how to pay their rent this month because of this virus.
