I think we need to learn to expect a little cycling in the first year or two following an A and or separation. The trick is to try and minimize the intensity of those swings and not get too carried away with the whole thing. Try to look at it objectively and rationally.

One thing I've learned is that giving love without expectations regardless of where a relationship is can feel really good. It also seems to defuse a lot of potentially difficult situations. One more thing that has helped me.... 10mg of Celexa.... I started it in the middle of the divorce and it has made a dramatic difference (and I thought I was the most well-adjusted person on the planet!). I figure I'll stay on this small little dosage for a year or two and hopefully it will help me through the worst parts of piecing at this point.


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
