Hi Anita & Teak,

Thank you again for everything, I’ve taken some time to work on some things and am doing quite well.

Anita – I have started to journal and meditate regularly, I’m also reading some great books on mindfulness and depression which are really helping.

Altogether, I am doing quite well. My ex and I are still living together until we can move to new places or find alternative living arrangements. This works OK, although sometimes difficult conversations come up, and boundaries are probably the hardest to stick by, now that our living situation is the same but our relationship is different.

It is almost like we are having a staged separation, still seeing each other in the house, but working on ourselves and our other relationships separately. I do still worry a little that when I move to my new place, I will suffer a delayed reaction and maybe struggle from loneliness, but as we’ve talked about, It is my inner child that worries about being left alone, and worry about the future and the past does cloud the mindfulness in the present, which is exactly why I am working on cultivating mindful practices and enjoying the moment.

I hope you are both well and as always, I really appreciate your supportive words.
