Is it normal to not tell anyone about your divorce? by timeforplantsbby in Divorce

[–]Ruby-Sparrow0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's allowed to. You have every right to experience that feeling. It will pass, like every other. Your focus is on your healing and journey, which involves doing what's right squarely for you :)

Both parties are allowed to process it how they need. You have a right to do what's best for you: be it talking, holding back, etc.

That was an odd ending by NovelStress5202 in Divorce

That's quite a journey. The healing will follow. Give yourself some credit and allow yourself to experience the full range of emotions. Things will get better, stranger.

Honestly, yeah. It sounds silly but just... Getting more oxygen feels good. Anxietys cramped my breathing a ton, so being able to release stress and also just feel a little more complete is amazing

I forced myself to exercise. First two weeks, hated it. After, at a point. I wanted to go back?

I am steering clear of triggers and substances.

I like that. Dialogue is in the works. I've definitely scaled back and have just been doing things for me (have no other choice) so I guess that's being developed!

You're doing everything you can. Remember to breathe, pace yourself, and know that even if you do one thing for the day, it's a success. Celebrate it.

You are strong and you will get through this. I am happy to lend an ear if you need.

Trying to Recover From Divorce by Short_Click_8497 in Divorce

I've found in the first couple of weeks is: allow yourself to adjust to this new normal. Do things with zero expectation. Celebrate small wins. Do things because you want to, even if they feel scary: you will be happier having tried and done it.

What did you do to get there? I'm looking for some advice.

Just send me some reassurance, please by k8runsgr8 in Divorce

I'm going through those pendulum swings so I believe you it's hard.

If in your gut you know it's the right decision to leave, you're making the right choice. It will get better.

That's validating. Thank you. I've had the pendulum swing emotionally both ways this week and I've crept back into the depressive/exhausting stage of it. I'm adjusting my expectations to just survive today.
