Nice quote. Thanks for sharing that. It helped me a little bit somehow.

@ Hopeless. This might not mean much now, but many of us are forcing ourselves to walk ahead with you. It sounds like you might be in a bit of shock or perhaps it was so much in such a short time. Maybe you need to mourn and go through the stages of grief. You are hurting so much and not being able to eat, sleep, or find pleasure or solace, well those things are just par for the course. You can’t allow yourself to get stuck, but you can give yourself time to grieve.

Now for the hard stuff. You have to hold your head high and remind yourself that this is all his dysfunction, immaturity, problem. It really is much better to figure this out sooner than later. You also have to take care of yourself. Force yourself if you have to. Make it part of your routine.

As far as how you are feeling, I’ve had some success with a sort of meditative visualization. I will imagine undesired thoughts, emotions, people, situations being loaded into a rocket or airplane, floating away high in the atmosphere and being dumped far away in the middle of the ocean, exploding in space or whatnot. Sometimes I visualize the now empty plane return from dumping my pain and unload something I desire in my life.

I hope that your former significant other miraculously makes things right and is there for you, your illness turns out to be a false diagnosis or a cure is found and that you are surrounded by love, joy, comfort, happiness, health and peace. 🙂
