The only way over pain, is to go through it

Good for you for getting out and stopping the pity party! You CAN get simple errands done w/o crying...all in good time. The more you force yourself out of that pit, the easier it will get.

Take your power back, girl! You can do this. Promise.

I feel your pain. Yesterday I was at my desk at work and the pain just came and I broke down. I'm usually able to control it enough to just let a tear or two out and then break down in the bathroom or something, but yesterday I just couldn't. So after I calmed down I went to the bathroom and just let it out there. Once I let it out I calmed down and put myself together and went back to work. Good news is today I feel MUCH better. It's just part of the process. I know I am going to have a roller coaster of emotions for a while, but in time I know it has to get better. You just have to let yourself grieve and then keep picking yourself up after you're done. Keep going forward.

Ladies I am with you. It has been 3 months and I think the pain is getting worse not better. If anyone care to have some company via chat, please let's talk!

Hopefully if you can keep your focus on yourself and your dog---
Your crying spells will come farther and farther apart.
You really do need to work your way through it. Give yourself treats, anything you like and go places you enjoy taking your dog. It will get easier.

I am dealing with the same - barely making it through the day, not being able to hold it together. I honestly don't know how to let go and be happy. It helps to know I'm not alone though. Hang in there - it's all we can do.

I know many of us have been there. The first time I went to the coast without him I sat in my car and cried for two hours and wished I had the courage to throw myself off a cliff. Fortunately for me I am terrified more by heights than I am of killing myself and yeah, it was that bad that I wanted to end it all. What's my point you ask? Eleven months later and I'm still here. I can go to the coast and cry from the sheer beauty of nature and not because I'm alone. Hold on, it does get better. It WILL get better.

((((HUGS))))

Going on 4 years here.....I swear I must be the most pathetic person on here to be still feeling the pain after that long, they say the best way to get over someone is to get under another....hasn't worked here, either that or that right person just hasn't come into my life yet to help me to see there is hope and that I can love again?
I will pray that your pain doesn't last as long and that you can get through it soon and the crying will lesson as each day goes on....we are all different and hopefully your healing will work quicker!

I got a funny movie and a good dinner and was actually feeling a little bit better. Than my roommate came home and is so happy with her new boyfriend that I couldn't be near them. I'm hiding in my room now. Feeling just as bad as before.

It will get better! I remember having panic attacks in the grocery store of all places! The thought of going to a movie or lunch by myself was terrifying...now I actually enjoy it!

Hugs to you....you are strong...you will het through this and be better and happier on the other side!
