Anyone else experience waves of despair that come at any given time and send you into tears?
It could be a happy couple holding hands walking down the street or a very sad scene in a movie or when I worry about a fellow DS'er and the feeling just overpowers you and the tears run?
I never used to be this way befoe my ex's affairs and her leaving me.
I hate these waves as I never know when they will hit me.
Sometimes my kids will catch me crying and ask me why I am crying and I just tell them a lie so they don't know that I am upset.
I hate when these waves hit me and make me feel so weak,I was raised old school where men aren't supposed to cry but since my ex's first betrayal over 5 yrs ago I feel so damned weak and vulnerable and am prone to tear up at any trigger sad or happy

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Last year the ex had the kids so I could hide out from the world, this year the kids are coming here and it will be so weird to not have a complete family here for xmas....I hate XMAS
