i'm not sure why; nothing happened. it's just been a miserable day. all i wanted to do for most of it was eat, and that's just what i did. toast, frozen meal, cheez-its, candy, diet soda, cookies, chips, hot and iced tea. thankfully, that's passed and now i'm just thirsty. i'm glad this feeling doesn't hit me too often b/c i give into it very easily.
i think maybe my problem is grief. i noticed the link for that board last night and have been crying, on and off, ever since. grief for the marriage that never was what i believed it to be, for plans that will never be, for a lost T, for loss of the security being married gave me, for a lost childhood. the sadness is overwhelming right now.
bad day.

That is a lot to grieve.
And like many losses, it is a series of small losses. And each one wounds.
I've been in those eating my sadness away moods, so I can't say much except I understand.

> bad day.I think that (our visit notwithstanding) last weekend would cause you grief, being with a group of people who are so bitter about their life experiences. Remember how you couldn't relate to them? - your sweet disposition and compassion set you apart from the pack. A bittersweet lesson, but an important one in my book.
I think it's important to allow yourself time to grieve over these things before you go forward. And I think it's a wonderful thing that you didn't really find much in common with the group. As my T is fond of saying, "be gentle with yourself" and just watch how you're feeling; don't judge it.
take care,
ClearSkies
