Taking Care of Myself, Yourself: An Ex has a New Girlfriend

Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!
You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

An Ex has a New Girlfriend

I wrote the following to my friend in the late summer. And so far I have been okay. I've been taking care of myself and feeling not-devastated. Plus, I have done what I said I would. I'm pretty sure I laughed on Thanksgiving.

I will not be devastated about ex. I will cry some more. I will be angry some more.

I will wear my retainers more. I will walk or exercise when I can. I will work on finding a job. I will work on my throw pillows or scrap booking. I will read books I enjoy.

I will cry some more. I will be angry some more. I will learn the lessons from this situation. I will remember the good times and be thankful for them.

I will cry some more. I will be angry some more. But I will live and be grateful for whatever I have. I will remember Janice.

I will go back in two weeks for another blood test because I’m still anemic, per the doctor. I will take care of myself. I will be sad. But I will laugh again.
