My feelings are similar to yours. My emotions are all over the place. The endless emotional torture seems to never fade away … and every once in a while, when I get lucky and get a chance to breath and try so hard to be in a up mood, bam ... something else comes about to bring me right back down to a place that I have the hardest time dealing with. The one positive thing I found out during the course of divorce, (even though I’m in divorce limbo right now) ... I found out that it's not the man I'm mourning, it's the marriage. The till death do we part ... the growing old together ... but not the man, and I'm delighted because I had lost so much respect and love for him these past few years, and couldn't comprehend why I am so unhappy. Why I’m crying all the time. It's not my persona. What I have a hard time doing right now is moving forward. I for some reason cannot see a bright future for myself ... perhaps it’s because I can't find a JOB ... a job that pays enough to be able to stand on my own two feet. Just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I 'm definitely feeling the same way as you these days.
Just wanted to respond to the guest having a rough time ("I understand..."). I am so sorry you're going through so much grieving. You're logically mourning the death of a dream, and that is going to feel painful, excruciating, and hopeless some times. But it is something you have to go through in order to get to the other side. And you will get to the other side, even if now, that is not something you are able to experience that much. Just stay true to yourself, be honest, follow your heart's lead, and you will be fine. You will be better than fine. You will emerge stronger, happier, deeper, and more peaceful than you had ever dared to imagine. Good luck. People are thinking about you, and wishing you strength.
Wow! What incredible insight and maturity you and Ahmed are both using to navigate your
situation. Wanting someone to be the most self-fulfilled and self-expressed person that God
created them to be is incredibly loving. Blessings to you both on your journey in life.
To "I understand" - yes, life never goes the way we think it is going to go, does it? I have cried more in the past year than I have in my entire life. (In public even!) All we can do is trust that the universe will take care of us and look to our friends when we need help seeing the great things that are possible for the future. Thanks for your words. You are not alone either. The world is full of good people. (There are a ton on this site!) They are what make the future bright.
Thanks to the other two of you! I just love the support that gets created here. Good stuff.
