Been really thinking about WW alot lately. Trying not to, but still do. I've been having alot of triggers lately too. Something will make me think of her and I get all messed up inside. I took my D and her friend to a movie today. It was a romantic comedy and I ended up crying during some of the scenes. I hope my D didn't notice it. I get all choked up and lose it at times. I'm on anti Ds but that doesn't seem to help. Is this normal after this long? Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart and others I feel fine. I'm in a good plan b, but I still think of her all the time... This sucks.......

You are allowing your WW to have control over your emotions.......please dont do that. Occupy yourself with something, anything....the more you sit around idle, the more she will creep into your mind. With that said, you WILL eventually have less and less feelings for her....especially since she is living with OM, and then the tables will turn.....she will be the one wondering why you stopped caring. God bless and good luck!

even in a perfect recovery the triggers happen for up to 2 years. some people gain peace sooner, some later. it will be a long time before this eases. hang in

I highly recommend that you consider getting involved in some community volunteer work. Helping others is a great way to lift your spirits and help give you an optimistic mindset. Not to mention, you get to meet new people (men and women) who can become new friends and help give you support during times like these.
