I feel introverted
I feel introverted
It seems like I was doing so well (sort of) trying to move forward with my life and my daughter's life...almost like I was in the eye of a hurricane. It has been 3 years since my divorce and I am starting to feel even more anxiety.
He has gone on and remarried living high on the horse while I still struggle to make ends meet.
I busted my ass this year and I was accepted to a Nursing Program, my daughter will be starting kindergarten and I don't know how I will do it all.
I thought I would be so much further than I am at this moment. I feel like I am back to the beginning...zoned and off in La-La Land. I recently ended several friendships with girlfriends because there was one in the group that reminded me of my ex. She sabotaged everything any time the group would have a girl's night. It was disgusting and I finally realized (after her belittling and snarky remarks) that I was old enough to decide whether or not to be friends with people.
I guess I feel lonely. I feel sort of stuck in a Ground Hog Day scenario. Friends I thought were good friends ended up not being the friends I thought they were. I am so tired of disappointment. I feel like I am slowly alienating myself and becoming a hermit. I am painfully shy, so it's hard for me to just "go out there and meet new people."
The fact of the matter is: I don't really feel like I belong anywhere but at home with my child. But being a zoned-out person doesn't thrill me either. I feel like I have become numb to my surroundings and I have terrible insomnia...staring at the ceiling thinking about - him and his new life. I am consumed by his "success."
I can't talk to my girlfriends who saw me go through what I did because I feel like they just don't get it, they don't understand the mind job he did on me. Nobody gets it...maybe that's the problem? Everyone sees it as "it's been 3 years, time to get over it and move on." Nobody wants to hear me complain or talk about him or talk about me being abused.
I've done the therapy thing. I don't want to sit in an office for $150/hour and close my eyes and imagine all of this stuff the therapist tells me. I don't know what kind of therapy I need, but I can't afford it for one.
I truly feel like damaged goods. I am not the same person I was before I went into the war. I have come out alive but the visions still haunt me.
Much THANKS to all of you
