KME39 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I really wish that in life we could take time-outs and just breathe. I am going through a separation from my other half right now. I am in the process of packing up 7.5 years of marriage into boxes and putting it in storage. I don't actually physically move until the end of September but there is quite a bit of sorting to do. I also am purging part of my life. I am purging out the shy doormat of a woman who was afraid to speak up. That part of my life is gone. The shroud of sadness and depression is coming off and being burned. I also am really busy at work with two major efforts going on. Both are high visibility and could make my career. I also let one of my dogs go to a new home today. It devasted me giving him up but with having to move to an apartment it wasn't feasible. I just want to get off this roller coaster long enough to throw up or drink some ginger ale.
whichwayisup Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 I am sorry that you're going through this, sounds stressful, emotional and honestly, it hurts just reading that you're losing so much.. Sorry too, about your beloved dog. Is it possible to ask a friend to look after him/her until you find another place suitable to have both dogs? It's heart wrenching enough to lose so much but have to give up one of your dogs as well? Try to take 10 minutes, each day or as many times as you need to, sit and close your eyes, put on music to help relax you..Do deep breathing and focus on your breathing and tell yourself that you're floating, picture yourself sitting on a beach or at a lake, somewhere peaceful. This will help relieve some anxiety that you are feeling. Doing yoga, even for 5 minutes can make a world of difference too. Hugs and feel better soon.
Author KME39 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 I can't put him at a friend's temporarily because he was a rescue. The rescue group needs him to be in my possession. It was strange going to bed last night and not having the little monster laying next to me for his belly rub. My old man (boxer) snuggles to a point but not when it is hot. Today I am going to ride my horse and go shooting. I need to destress and take some time for me. My s2bx is passed out in his room and probably won't move until much later.
