OnlyBent: Yeah man! I hear you - focus on me. This is what I am doing my best to do. I have {am} trying to go through the acceptance that she isn't coming back and it would appear that this is the case anyway. The worst thing is is I now have to wait for my pension money to be released before I can go forward. I hate this waiting around and would rather be working towards finding a different place to live.
As far as counseling goes, I was actually referring to the talking stuff, not CBT, as traditional. Looks like you had experience of that one. Would rather somebody tell me straight about stuff rather than pussy-footing around, at least you know where you are and then you can deal with that.
Apparently I'm in line to receive CBT, but it looks like another 4 weeks at least before I hear about an appointment. I was thinking of having a few sessions with somebody prior, but wonder if it would be a waste of money just for a few weeks - something I haven't got a lot of at the moment.
