I think I have a bit of a clue what it feels like, though my divorce was years ago.
It doesn't matter how much you want this, or that it is your decision, just as it didn't matter much that it was my decision to get mine.
There is still a period of mourning for what could have been, for the hopes that you used to have. And no matter how hard you tried to keep things together there is an inevitable feeling of failure.
Take good care of yourself while this is going on. And - from experience - allow yourself the time to mourn.
