Having a rough day

[mtnbiker3000]

I have all the tools. I know better. I know this is temporary and I will come out the other side. I know I'm putting in the necessary work. Yet yesterday and today have been quite challenging. The grief has been severe. 2 months deep and all over the board with emotions. Some days up and some down. Uggghhh, wish I was past this.

I remain no contact. I take it one day at a time and I simply put one foot in front of the other.

Anyway, just venting 😤

I'm sorry you're going through this. 

Last week, I potted a cinnamon plant in the house to cheer me up. Later, I watched a movie and had my favorite food. This really helped lift my mood.

I don't doubt that you're struggling. Remember, it’s OK to cry. Or veg. Or do whatever you need to do.

Stay well.

Healing isn't linear, so you're still on course. Often it's two steps forward one step back.

Just know others are going through it too. You're not alone. I was just about to post myself that I've been having a really bad run of days. 

Breakups really are one of the hardest things we deal with in life, at least in my experience. There's no kind of pain that is exactly like it, and it's a psychological quagmire. 

All I can say is you're not alone. Hang in there, sir.

Sometimes I just feel so stuck. Like the day has stopped moving.

Was feeling trapped with thoughts of loneliness, abandonment, shame, not being good enough, fear of never finding happiness in a relationship, etc...

Seems to be a little better today 👍

I really am finding value in the works of Tara Brach!
