1. Identify the distortion by writing down the negative thoughts

What the hell is wrong with me today? I feel so sad. I feel like I don't care about anything. I'm so glad I uprooted my life and moved all the way out here for him to cheat and lie and not be in my life. I moved out here for NOTHING. Nothing looks postive right now. I don't want to be at work. I don't even know what I want actually. I guess I want my head to stop fighting me all the time, I want to stop feeling sad all the time I want to feel happiness and peace again. I want my nose to stop running from allergies. I WANT CHRIS BACK. I don't even want to untwist my thoughts? Why is that? I know if I put the work in, it will make me feel better eventually. I'm so angry with myself because I feel this way. I'm angry that I'm sitting in my office at work and I'm crying. I'm angry because I feel so lost and alone. I'm angry that my head messes with me. I miss him. I've never gone this long without talking to him and seeing him in over two years and now I'm just supposed to accept that I'll never see or talk to him again? Why do I want to anyway? He really treated me horribly. I don't think he's a bad person, but he handled this situation horribly. Why did he pick this girl over me? Why am I never good enough?

I"m okay in this moment, but I DON'T LIKE THIS MOMENT.

okay, calm down. I"m going to calm down right now. I am okay today. feelings are just feelings and no matter how badly they SUCK they can't kill me. They are temporary. A lot of emotional reasoning. Inner me is very upset, inner me is screaming. What does that mean? It means I need self care to help comfort her. I have a new book by one of my favorite authors I got yesterday. I can finish reading that tonight after I watch American Idol. This Saturday I have a ticket for a dance show. My boss bought everyone roses today for a job well done, which was really nice of him. I have pretty roses sitting on my windowsill.

Radical acceptance is the only way out of hell. I am having a lot of resistance right now to accepting that Chris is gone and I"m alone in Colorado. I"m having a lot of resistance to radical acceptance. Radical acceptance starts with a committment to accepting reality, especially when you don't want to. I am willing to work with reality (its funny how inside little me is making faces and I can just picture this toddler throwing tantrums.) Anyways, I am willing to work with realilty. My life is not all good or all bad. It is a combination of both. Shades of grey. I"m not completely alone. I have my t, I have my cat. I have a roommate (although she doesn't understand but who can blame her? I don't understand myself half the time) I have Sue, my coworker who also says we are friends. I have my family, as dysfunctional and nutty as they are. I could call them to talk if I really wanted to.

Why am I hurting so badly still? Is it just normal grief? Maybe I just need to accept that I'm sad. It really sucks that I'm this sad but I think I'm supposed to let the emotion float across my mind. Invite it to tea, as that book says.

not really feeling any better, but at least I tried. maybe I'll feel better in awhile.

(((pip))),

I think a lot of it is normal grief for the loss of your relationship. Please don't be so hard on yourself. Let yourself grieve. You're very insightful, and that's good. But it's okay to just feel sad for awhile, and not fight it.

Thanks guys. I balled my eyes out yesterday in therapy as well as at home at night but today I do feel a lot better, and a lot lighter. Thank you again.

smiles,
