Hi Kkasxo,
That’s brilliant, I’m so glad they are starting soon and I hope they prove beneficial for you and really help you along your path.
The anxiety is so so still. So I went to get a coffee near my work building this morning and as I came out of the café and went to cross the street – it was raining – my ex passed me in his work vehicle. I got a bit of a fright because he is never normally around my neck of the woods for work, just very rarely.
He acted like he didn’t see me but kind of put his hand up to his mouth/face to cover it a bit. He couldn’t have missed me on the street. It just knocked me a bit as I haven’t seen him in 7 weeks since we split. Is this what we are now? I’m just an awkward ex he needs to avoid? I felt so sad again.
I’m trying not to let it affect me, but with my anxiety and life at the moment, I have narrowed it considerably to zones I feel safe/comfortable in. My home, work, sisters, friend house. I didn’t feel there was a threat of pain within these areas as I got rid of all reminders etc. And then he just pops up unexpectedly. I’m a little shook.
