Molly,


I don't have any real words of comfort to help you out except you'll make it through.

Molly -

This is so hard to go through. Hang in there. We will all get through this.

I can relate to Pinky's crying anywhere thing. I had to get chest x-rays a couple days ago, and the woman doing the x-rays put this lead skirt around my waist to "protect my future children". I broke down... She was understanding and kind when I told her what I was going through.

I'm definately having a low period, after hurting but feeling progress the first few days of the break-up. Instead of the sadness laced with optimism and focus I have been feeling, I am today experiencing heaviness, irrationality, anxiety about returning to work, and a little depression. Lots of self-blame. It sucks.

I'm determined to stay strong on no contact, though, and I am trying to adjust my attitude back to the positive. I'm just...I dunno...I feel mired at the moment. I felt pretty ok the other days, though, and I will get back there again. You'll get through this as well. I'm sorry you are feeling all of this. *hugs*
