roughly 2 months from D-day.
She's being pretty damn great. She's being understanding, she's putting effort in. She is naturally closed off, but has been opening up. I asked her to read "How to heal after... " and she did, and has seemed to put some of the methods from the book into action. She has dealt with my crushing mood swings fairly well. Obviously there have been little bumps here and there, but she is basically being the model of a remorseful spouse. I could go on further with the actions she is doing (and probably should for my own benefit), but I'll save that for a personal document.
I'm still going through this damn roller coaster. When she's home and able to comfort me, I feel somewhat better. During the day however, when I'm working (from home), I can get a sudden wave of crushing doubt/anxiety. I get panicked and feel like I HAVE to DO something. I feel like I'm just completely losing it at times.
and the worst part is that I KNOW that time is the only thing that can help at this point. Even these low points pass after a while (could be 20 min, could be an hour).
I just had to post this here to retain my sanity during one of these moments.
We've talked a little about it and agreed that maybe I should start working from coffee shops or an office instead of sitting at home alone, so that is step one, hopefully tomorrow I can start that.
--edit 1. look at that, can't even form a complete title while in the pits. I am, however, feeling marginally better now.
--edit 2. jeez, not even in the right forum! was supposed to be reconciliation I think.
