How do you get through your days at work

when you're so profoundly sad? I find it hard to not fill up with tears during my day.

I am a kindergarten teacher and have to put on my smiley face. Certain times of the day are hard. I find it easier (a bit at least) if I go out driving in my car on my lunch break and let it out).

It's so devastating.....and we actually haven't even broken up yet. But, I am going to do it in the next day or two. There is really almost nothing he can say to change my mind. There's no fixing this, except with extensive counseling.

You just know when it has to be over.....

Hi kerstynclare,


I know how you feel... sometimes it can be really hard to get through the day.

i don't know. sitting here with my eyes all red and swollen. and I'm an attorney, we're not even supposed to have emotions. told people that i was cooking mexican food last night and rubbed my eyes after cutting chillipeppers. i guess i'll just try to keep busy and not to think about him.

I'm sitting at the moment at my desk at work awaiting an email from my b/f of 5 yrs. He doesn't want me, or us. Remember: You're not alone; it will get better. I wish I could hug you guys. (((hug))))

The last time I had a break-up, I had my nails done ...french manicure. Do something nice for yourself.

Elsie, I'm so sorry, but hopefully each minute that passes will be a minute closer to healing.

I'm still waiting for a response from my email that I sent, spelling out all the issues and basically telling him that the only way our relationship could survive if for him to get help. There's about a 5% chance that that will happen. In my mind it's over, just not officially yet.

Weekend from hell, huh?
