Dear Nichole:

It is amazing how well you function considering the severity of distress that you have been experiencing, for so long. I wish life was easier for you and that you felt better and better.

You are a strong woman. But you need to make life easier for yourself.

I suggest you make Rules for Easier Living for yourself, maybe five rules, maybe ten. Rules regarding who to communicate with and who to not communicate with (establish no-contact), how to spend your money and how to not spend your money, do-s and don’t-s. If you want to work on such a list here, do  so. Remember the purpose of  the rules: to make your life easier, to minimize distress in your life experience.
