Hi, I know right now, I feel o.k. I am seeking books/etc. that have things in them to help you move on when you finally know, it is over. I have spent the last two months reading/learning about taking care of the kids, and keeping their head's right, now I have to find ways to put my own head right. Suggestions are welcomed.
Of all people, my atty. took me out of my funk yesterday. I can't call him when I feel like cow dung... Therapy session next week is good for a few days. I need to stabilize, permanently.

Hi JTGPP,

I know how you feel. I'm not much help as far as knowing what books would be helpful. I'd been interesting in hearing what you find out about that. It's difficult living with a roller coaster of emotions all of the time, not to mention exhausting. I seriously need a vacation. Anyway, Good luck!

As odd as it sounds, the book "Passionate Marriage" by David Snaarch has a lot of things in it that have helped me. It can be a long read and frequently reads like a sex manual, but the concepts in the book can help you to stand on your own feet again.

I don't know your whols story but for me, a couple of others that I have read that helped me are "The Emotionally Abusive Relationship" and "Betrayal Bond".

I have been listening to "Living your Best Life Now" by Joel Osteen, on CD. It is very positive and helps me stay in a good frame of mind. The message of this Book has made an incredible difference in my attitude. Good Luck!

I've been reading Crazy Time by Abigail Trafford and i Love it! I totally have my head on straight now. I also picked up Mars and Venus Starting Over. I'm going to read that next. You might also like Single Again by Thomas Jones that was a pretty good book.

thanks for the advice. I picked up Letting Go by Dr. Zev Wanderer and tracy Cobalt. I will put it on the book list. Is an easy read and takes you throuhg twelve weeks of help for the hurting heart. I am already on week three in the book, but feel I am past alot of the stuff in there, just reassures that i am going to survive this.

I am not religious but spiritual. I purchased angel blessing cards at chapters. They are like tarot cards but if you ask them a question, you bless the cards ,then pick and get your answer. They are quite inspirtiona.

I also have the secret video..always pulls me out of a funk.... lol

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
