We sound so much alike! I had a lot of stress from my job too. Over a year ago I started changing a lot of my attitude and was doing much better. My job still wasn't great but I wasn't letting it stress me like I had been. It's amazing how much control we have when we take responsibility for our emotions.
I also know exactly what you mean about the sadness. For me it's the one emotion I haven't figured out. The main thing I try to do is just tell myself it's okay to be sad but not to let the sadness control my life - still go running, talk to friends, and not let it snowball into anything more.
As far as sharing this message board - I don't think that's necessary. YOu might want to read thesane1's thread. She and her H are back together - for over a year:) - and she still hasn't told him about the message board. But that's up to you.
have a great week. Keep up the good DBing:)
