What progress have you made since separating/divorcing?
I no longer question my worth
I no longer have constant anxiety all day long
I can sleep for 8+ hours straight without waking up in a panic attack after only a few hours
I don't cry anymore...tear up and feel sad but don't ball my eyes out
I am eating again on a regular basis
I started exercising regularly
Got back into my hobbies
I now enjoy going home
I take the time to enjoy my experience with people, even conversation with strangers
I don't fear change anymore
I am learning to love myself and getting to know my strength/weaknesses
I realize living in fear is trying to control things...working on throwing fear out the window and live in the NOW
Learning to say "no" and have boundaries when it comes to things I won't compromise on (inner values)
I don't worry what people think about me or how I live my life anymore
So many times the things you say could be written by me too. it's weird! lol get outta my brain!I no longer question my worth

That's great, Jellybeans!!I paid off all my debt, paid off my car, went skiing for the first time (bucket list), discovered a passion in cooking, have saved $ for the first time in my life, improved my credit significantly, had my first rebound/dating experience, enrolled in a math class at a level that was always so difficult for me and PASSED with a high grade!, and feel more like a woman now than I ever have in my life. I feel more centered.
Haha. It's a GREAT feeling. I love hearing all of your updates, too! :smthumbup:I am also paying off my debt and getting things together financially.
Feeling centered is such a great mood booster.
I feel more like myself. More like I remember feeling as a kid.
I feel like my old self. Big smile on my face, making people laugh, making a positive, lasting impression on people.
....and feel more like a woman now than I ever have in my life. I feel more centered.
I have confidence in who I am as a person and like myself
:rofl: Sounds like it was a complete coincidence!!! Loloddly enough,my physical health issues faded away seemingly out of nowhere.now,i can't put the blame on my stressful lifestyle with my exhusband but it sure is interesting how they simply vanished after settling into my single life...
:iagree: Omg so true. When we're in a "couple" we do kind of lose ourselves, our identity. It's strange to have to find the way back from that, the path back to ourselves, our true selves, not bound by a relationship. It's fun though!I think you don't realize how valuable a treasure your true self is until you sacrifice it for another human and have to work to get it back. You think, wow, that was a close one. How could I have turned my back on myself all that time, and given my life energy to another human being who was keeping all their energy as well as taking mine and basically flushing it.
I said almost this exact thing to someone the other night.I think you don't realize how valuable a treasure your true self is until you sacrifice it for another human and have to work to get it back.
