Otherwise, I'm still struggling. I've been kind of numb and feeling a bit lost. I'm just so tired and just ready to have the house sold already so that I can get closer to moving on with my life. I've not had enough time for self care or the counseling I want to do. And I know I need to work on things to heal. But I'm just so tired. Between the house stuff and extra work right now, I'm just exhausted. Still no word on the job front, so I do feel dragged along there too. Everything feels so overwhelming at the moment, in my life and in the world. I keep telling myself it will get better.
El, thanks for the honest, frank update. I feel that a lot of LBSs here do themselves a disservice by putting on a "I am doing great!" front. It is okay to struggle. It is ok to have fear, anxiety, sadness, grief over the end of the MR. What it is NOT okay to do is to not do anything about it. I know you were really busy with things over the last few months, but a that transitions into less activity, you have to find ways to cope. Counseling, support groups, ladies group activities (not sure if you are a member of a church but it is a great resource!), etc. Staying busy is the key. You were busy through the move, etc, but do not just sit and stew. We've seen LBSs that do that and all it does is prolong the struggle.
