Re: newbie is heartbroken, confused, sick... blah :( Fendann: Chaotic couldn't have said it any better, Emma. I spent so much time at my best friend's house with him and his wife, that I could have had my mail forwarded there...Being around him helped. It helped me in the mornings when I was feeling so cold and alone, it helped me in the evenings when I missed my kids, too.
I lost 28lbs. in 2 months on the "Divorce Diet", too. It happens, but you get over that as well. You just have to help yourself. See someone, like a counselor or therapist, and tell them what's happening. It will get better, but you have to believe it...if you don't, then it will take so much longer and hurt so much more.
((((HUGS))))
Re: newbie is heartbroken, confused, sick... blah :( tirisfal: You are so normal! Don't worry about that part. I lost sleep, weight, heck days even.
Everyone on this site will do their best to help you through this. We all know how hard this is.
I spent a week in the limbo stage and it is the worst. Try your best to focus on you and what you need. Give yourself all of the comforts you can think of.
Re: newbie is heartbroken, confused, sick... blah :( heartbrokenemma: Thank you all so much for your kind words. It's so strange, I've been through breakups before but this one hurts on a completely different level, I guess it's because I was SO sure I was going to spend the rest of my life with him, we even had a date set when we wanted to get married even though we werent offically engaged. He wants his space and that's what I'm giving him even though I'm completely broken
Re: newbie is heartbroken, confused, sick... blah :( ezydriver: It hurts so much because of the investment you put into it.
you said yourself.........[quote"> I was SO sure I was going to spend the rest of my life with him,[/quote">
This is why. Shattered dreams hurt on a level completely different to other types of hurt.
Re: newbie is heartbroken, confused, sick... blah :( l0progression: This is normal. It will pass.
I know this is crap advice, and I got told this numerous times when I felt the exact way you did.
So I guess its not advice so much as offering you the truth. You'll get better in time.
