Ms. Joolie Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 *dramatic music begins* I should retire now from the coping section of LS. I think I am fully recovered. Mind you, there are still some thoughts, some emotions, but I'm okay. I can deal now. Yesterday I was in a really good mood, was in my car, and realized I didn't have any upbeat music to play! For weeks I've been riding around with slow tempo music. That's the type of overall mood I've been in for two months. I had to turn on the radio (as opposed to my CDs, I'm so not up to date) and listen to some upbeat jams! And then it came to me. I'm done coping. I'm ready to get back out there.... single! So it doesn't make sense for me to be all cheery and stuff in the coping section. I will respectfully move on to other sections of LS now. I guess I just stick around in the "coping" section for the people who I've become interested in, people in difficult situations who are still coping. Everyone has their own time frame. But I won't be posting anymore in this section, not for a while. Because when I do, I'm usually bringing up stories about the ex. Every time I bring up those stories it puts me in an undesirable place... those are memories now that I don't need to bring up. Sure it's only been two months, but I just see this as the next thing to do. I'm ready to move on, and it just feels like I'm spent about stories with the ex. I'm giving up telling my stories then, and will use LS for other things besides coping, because I am no longer coping with that heartache. I will resist the coping section because I don't want to run over my stories anymore. I will resist the coping section because I don't want to be all cheery when others are grieving. To everyone still grieving that I've had the opportunity to read about and share with, I wish you well. I feel for all of you, and don't ever stop moving forward in your healing process. To future grievers, you will find so much support on LS, as I did. Support that will help you re-evaluate your situation, find new answers and obtain new directions. It's a path to recovery. So thank you all. *** dramatic music ends ***
