I really really appreciate you sharing all of this with me! Just being able to vent and talk to people who have been through it is immensely helpful.
I love your idea about finding a new scent! I do wear cologne, and like you said, smelling it reminds me of date nights and my W telling me I smell good. I may just have to pick a new one.
Hm that is a great idea also, I will be sure to look into that. I know I am more than capable to make it on my own, it's just that my confidence was definitely knocked down a few pegs and all that self-doubt coupled with anxiety and uncertainty is making it hard to stay focus.
Today has already been a lot better than the past two days though, so there is that. I hope your journey is a bit smoother this time around.
