there is nothing more therapeutic than getting comfy on the couch with ben and jerry but you got to eat it from the container for maximum effect. (sometimes a little duncan hines can help--am i the only one here to keep a can of frosting hidden in the back of the fridge next to the rarely used horseradish and banana peppers?)also, don't forget that sometimes the bridge between hope and despair is a little sleep (and sometimes it a divorce and xanax!) what about going to bed and fixing up all of your blankets just right, and deciding ahead of time that you won't fret if you don't sleep, you'll read a book, or maybe listen to music and cry your heart out? decide to walk in the morning. i walk 5 miles darn near everyday and ALWAYS know that on the few days i miss that i'm not going to feel as good. i never lose any weight tho because i sometimes eat caramels when i walk. also, getting outside is good grounding if you ask me. i realize i'm part of the world, that i'm not alone, and the fresh air makes me want to live long enough to be a problem to my children. i've got faith in you, crushed! you can weather this. who was it that side life is just on the other side of despair? or something like that? keep writing, hoping and all that corny stuff. i don't know why it works, but it does.
