My heart goes out to you & him. While it may not solve everything, one thing you mentioned was negative self talk and anxious future forecasting. These are self inflicted secondary wounds that take uncomfortable moments into painful experiences & add only needless suffering. Have you or...

You're very welcome. Don't worry, and I know that the emotional wave is going to roll back in and try to make you second guess and doubt yourself. Stop it in its tracks. Find an easy, short affirmation that you can repeat to yourself when that emotional ball wants to bubble up and make you...

Good luck, and you can always vent here! I wish you didn't have to go through this, but I hope a sense of calm and peace washes over you when you recognize that the faster he's a distant memory, the better, and you will be fine- you've survived this before and something is definitely out...
