In terms of work...on the one hand it can be a great way to deflect your focus from your sitch and get your mind onto something productive. On the other, also know that it's OK to slip a bit professionally if you have to take care of yourself personally. You won't always be going through this and it's alright to not be crushing it at work through this time.

Yes you are! Your STBXH is CRAZY for throwing you away. You're going to look back on this at some point and realize how awesome your life has become in spite of it...or perhaps even because of it.
