I haven't posted for quite a while. I have been busy settling the kids into new schools and beginning a degree course myself. Our new house is nearly ready and things are really lookin up.<P>I thought I was going along okay but certain things just seem to creep up on me. It is my birthday(1st since we separated) tomorrow and I am dreading it. I really wish I could just stay in bed all day but of course that is not an option.<P>Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with these difficult times.

Annie H,<P>Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time, we all have them and this is a great place to come to when we're feeling low. How long have you been separated?<P>First, I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow and treat yourself to something grand, you deserve it. <P>I don't have any great advice, as I often find myself in the very same predicament. <BR>1)I allow myself a good cry in the shower where no one can see or hear me. I usually feel better after that. <BR>2)Another thing is to get out of the house if you can, go for a ride, visit the zoo, whatever, just don't stay at home when you're feeling down. <BR>3)Call a friend, hang out, take in a movie, get your hair done, do a makeover!<BR>4) I read a lot of the Harvey books.<BR>5) Prayer and meditation helps, too.<P>My prayers and thoughts are with you, MT<P>
