What I did to feel better today.

Perhaps we could share what we do to stop or even feel less pain.


This is what I did today as a step towards healing :


1.Gave my DH a VDay card. I felt like a fraud, but did it anyway. Later I felt better when I saw how happy he was.


2.Cleaned the house - I could hardly bring myself to wake up this morning, but got it done.


3.Eat a big bar of sinful chocolate :-)


4.Blocked xEAP from two IMs. Don't know if I can stick with it, but at least right now, I feel empowered.


5.Right now watching winter olympics with DH and son.


6.Read up all I can in this board.

Hi Lillie! Thanks for thinking about me. I am doing pretty good. I ran into him today - actually almost knocked him down the stairs. LOL! I was in a hurry and did'nt see him coming up while I was on my way down. We said 'hi' and went on our way.


I was extremely busy at work today. After a meeting, I stopped and thought that I had'nt thought of him in that entire hour. Earlier I used to IM him while in a meeting.


I also went to the gym and worked out for an hour.


Later spent the eveing watching a movie with H and son.


I thought about him and also missed him several times a day but it was'nt that bad.


How did your day go? Did you do anything special for yourself.


Have a great night, Lillie.

gal,
i'm glad you had a better day. i, too, had the experience of going an entire hour without thinking of xap. an old highschool girlfriend and i went out for drinks last night. i'd been thinking of calling and canceling on her, but i forced myself to go. it was a very nice time---took me out of myself for a few hours. on the drive home, i thought, "wow, didn't even think of him." but of course, then thoughts and emotions returned with a vengeance. am trying to be thankful for even the one hour of respite right now. we will see what the day brings. hope yours goes well today.
