My Time
I finally feel that for the first time in weeks i now want to be kinder to myself. This has taken a toll on my body as well due to my self destructive behaviour to try and numb the pain. From this day on im cutting down on the alcohol,eating healthy meals again as i even lost motivation to even cook. And to try and get into a healthy sleep pattern again to help heal my mind.Im determined not to lay awake ruminating over every detail of our relationship even if i have to get something to help me sleep. Its now about healing me.

Yes!!!!! go you, I think this a marvellous decision honey, its what I am desperately trying to do too. I\'ve depleted myself far too much running round stressed and my poor body needs some nutrition to boost it.
My mind is in absolute turmoil some days, but the fact I have been eating well for the last 3 wks or so is definitely showing in my complexion etc. And I am becoming so much more aware of the stress I have been storing in my body as I start to listen to it more.
I have just got a book by Debbie Shapiro - Your Body speaks you Mind from the library. Only read a bit of it but its helpful.
I think its fabulous you are making a conscious decision to nurture you. I too can\'t be bothered to cook, but I am treating myself to top of the range ready salads (with seeds and lentils etc in them) and lovely dried fruit/nut/seed packets. Sod it, take the easy way out while you are so weary, you deserve the best so buy as well as you can afford if you can\'t be bothered to cook.
You are so worth it honey, even small steps add up, I just started by drinking more water and a cup of green tea a day. Then added in salads. Then dried fruit.
Sorry to go on, i\'m just wanting to show you it can be done and you do feel better for it. I feel a little more empowered for taking these steps and every little thing helps
Much love xx
Thank you Karen13 yes we have to look after ourselves.Ive neglected myself for far too long due to this arsehole. Ive never felt so weak due to a man and im sure its because of the emotional abuse we suffer at the hands of these men that makes our recovery much worse than if we broke up from a normal relationship. You stay strong and healthy too girl xo
