shelters Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 So I just returned to work from my daily walk to the corner deli. It is soooo friggin beautiful outside today and where I work backs up onto a neighborhood where someone was obviously barbecuing. Mmm. Awesome smell. Anyway, I'm walking quicker than usual and I felt... happy!? Not sure how long it will last but it is in large part to this site... so thank you!! Today is exactly 4 weeks since the break up. I just looked at the calendar. Even better, I'm *still* feeling happy.
Sand&Water Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Great to hear, you're feeling happy Shelters! Wish I could say the same for myself. Keep it up!
Author shelters Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 I don't know how long it will last or even why I'm suddenly feeling pretty good... this weekend actually was crappy (we exchanged our items-yuck). But while I'm feeling this way I am going to also send out some thank-you's to family & friends who have been there for me. I'm feeling lots of gratitude right now. I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well right now and as they say, "this too shall pass," so hang in there!!!!
Sand&Water Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Sending out thank you notes to family and friends is a good idea. Shows how much you appreciate their help. However, remember that you need to hold strong until you can smoothly get over the break up. Good Luck. Thank you, and I know that it'll pass. The whole situation is complex, and thoughts rush through my head all the time. Recently I had a panic attack out of nowhere. I don't want to hijack your thread. Carry on
Author shelters Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 I'm not the possessive type... hijack away! Yeah, thank-you's are important. Not in a I'm-over-it-now-kinda way by annnnnnny means. I don't know how long this happy feeling will last, but I'll take it. This morning was like usual mornings with that bad feeling in my stomach which is why I'm so grateful for some/any relief from that longing feeling. Lets hang in there together!!

Glad to hear you're not offended! I know what you mean. It'll take time, for things to settle down and your happy-go self gets into loving life again. I specifically hate that morning feeling. It's overwhelming for me, but I try to attain a "brand-new-day type of mind-set". The panic attack I had, is still so vivid. I don't understand how I got from one thought, to a panic attack. It happened during a very important activity I was performing. I was seated with approx. 200 other people. I really wanted to burst out in tears, and run away. I was suffocating. I wanted to go hide out in a corner and shut the world out. But I didn't... I had to hold my composure. I felt crappy the entire day. I was truely dieing inside. And still am. I don't even know why I bother to vent.
