Jim, intense emotional times like this are bewildering for us men who are not used to being very emotional. Basically, a man has to transfer his love someplace else now. Your love and energy are too pent up since the relationship is over. It has to be released.

Do two things, Jim: Walk for miles every day to release physical energy. Someplace private if possible and sing along the way to music playing through headphones if you can. That lets you release your physical and mental energy in a healthy way.

The withdrawl phase tries to tell us that our ex is the Queen of Egypt or something when they are really just an ordinary woman. The mind is playing a trick on a person. The more that you vent out your sentimental emotions the sooner that they will level out.

I will pray for you. I pray for all of us every night, but will put in a special request for ya. I know how bad this feels. I was seriously suicidal. Seriously. I am not in that darkest of places now by the grace of God. Its going to be OK.
