Everything I read and learned in IC said you have to go through the pain. It's part of the healing process. There are no shodtcuts, and trying to get around the pain usually creates more problems (addiction, new toxic relationships, unwanted pregnancies, etc). This board is full of LBSs that tried to shortcut the pain. You're doing the right things Indy, now you just need to give it time.
I've read and heard others talk about D being similar to the death of a spouse. The grieving is very similar. Let yourself grieve this loss, only you will know when you're finished doing that.
You got this Indy!!
