What i accomplished without him

View More Posts
Okay, i still feel like shit but i wanted to tell myself and the rest of the world about what i accomplished so far since he left me. I had this feeling recently that i did nothing since he left since i spend most of my time alone and i have been off work for a month since my surgery. But... i realized that i DID DO SOME THINGS since he dumped me. Here's my list:

- Went to a spa for the first time ever
- Visited NYC for the first time
- Got a new job (managed to go to an interview and actually got it even if i felt like dying)
- Got through my first surgery
- Reconciled with my mother, father and sister
- Starting my driving lessons in 2 weeks (this is something i wanted to do for the last 12 years or so)
- Started a therapy with a new therapist even if i was scared to change
- Took the decision to join an improv team in september (have been missing that for a while and i will try it now... this used to be my passion)


There! In your face EX!!!! Now... I DID THIS. ME. ALONE. I DID THIS WITHOUT HIM. Even when feeling like i was dead (still do), i managed to do these things. Some little, some big. Doesn't matter, that shows me that i must still be alive... Because how can a dead person do all these things???

What about you? What have you done since the ex left?

" Mel, that is one amazing list. I'm especially impressed at the "got a new job" even while you were feeling so awful. That is the one I am facing and thinking I can't do it because I can't sell myself now.

I knew you were an amazing person! "
