"Surviving Divorce"...I'm not feeling like I'm doing that so well today (or yesterday for that matter).

i think everything you're feeling and everything you're doing is normal. really. you obviously know what should be happening now. it's just very tough. you're dealing with all sorts of emotions you've never had to deal with before. starting over is scary, but you'll do it because you have no choice. you'll feel like you're going a little crazy, but you're not. the best thing you can do for yourself is to get good counselling. have your doctor recommend someone or your church or a friend. just get yourself an appointment. you'll realize you're not crazy. you'll be helped to think clearly. you'll feel more in control.

just by the way you have written your post, i can say with complete certainty that YES, ABSOLUTELY, you will survive divorce!

start taking steps now. once you start heading in that direction, you'll feel better.

not only do i promise that you will survive this. but - believe it or not - you will emerge a stronger and healthier person at the end.

it does take time, patience - and a solid support system will make it easier.

have you gone to therapy (i mean on your own?) ?

Yep, I'm seeing a therapist for the 2nd time today.
