RecoverMe Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 I am trying myself to get out of that space of emotional upheaval. Today I want to lash out at my spouse and make him suffer for all the pain that his bad choice created! I find that personal space is really important. Do you have a close friend you can call and kind of talk you through your feelings? I don't know your situation, but kknow that tomorrow it will be a better day, no matter how hard this moment is. Do you feel out of control w/ your emotions?
Author LoveSux Posted May 5, 2007 Author Posted May 5, 2007 I am trying myself to get out of that space of emotional upheaval. Today I want to lash out at my spouse and make him suffer for all the pain that his bad choice created! I find that personal space is really important. Do you have a close friend you can call and kind of talk you through your feelings? I don't know your situation, but kknow that tomorrow it will be a better day, no matter how hard this moment is. Do you feel out of control w/ your emotions? I have a couple of close friends that I have vented to. Unfortunately, they have become bored after hearing the same story for the (n+1)th time. I'm in a difficult situation and won't be able to avoid this for another 3 weeks. That's THREE WEEKS TOO LONG! I am going through quite a bit of pain, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt all rolled into one all at the same time. I just want this to end. Sometimes, I wish a large truck would just run over me. Put an end to all of my miseries.
silentcharon Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 Have you considered IC? I recommend this to you because you need someone to listen to you, while you get it all out on the table. Family and friends are also great for this, they are there to lend an ear to you, but they can only go so far. They love you, but they can only do so much giving you the same advice in different ways over and over again. They are not trained for this. Therapists are trained to recognize where YOU are coming from, and help you come to your own decision how you want to get through this break up. Your close ones want what they think is best for you, so they give biased advice sometimes however best their intentions are. Therapists won't do this- they want you to decide what's best for YOURSELF, they are there to help you figure that out. IC has really helped me cope so far. You need to remember that you are not alone, that there are other resources for support outside of the circle of your family and friends. Good luck!
LakesideDream Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 I don't think you "cope" with emotional upheaval. I believe you live through it, deal with it minute by minute, day by day until it fades. You will be left with a scar. This isn't life in Willy's Chocolate factory. Stuff hurts, we deal with it. We try to avoid the same situations in the future.
