Competely Starting Over

shadski

Hey Ladies,

I am currently in the divorce/moving out process. Do you have any tips to completely start over? I am currently working on getting my personal training certification so that I can work since I relied 100% on my husband to provide for me. I am looking into doing school part time for Art History as well. The thing is, I want to lose weight, go to school, work part time and also move out into my own place    (by moving back by my family which is 1,500 miles from where I am currently at).

Do you have any tips for starting over, getting over the lonely hump, making that drive alone or anything dealing with divorce?

 Thanks!

Just an FYI, everyone pretty much left this board (well, the whole site actually) and we are all over on proboards. If you google GBCN proboards you will find us. There is a VERY active starting over board there. Come join us!

Not everyone has left the board. And eventually I think it will build back up.

It sounds to me like you have already got a pretty good plan, but here are a few more things:

• Get a solid, good group of friends and family to support you and eliminate any negative people who are not giving you constructive, healthy support.
• Eliminate or limit loneliness by spending time with them doing the things you love.
• Get counseling if you are having trouble getting over the tough stuff.
• Learn to love being alone for awhile.  Just for awhile. Know that it's not a permenant thing, but think of it as a time to get to know yourself and do things that make you happy.
