I'm feeling pretty bad today. The holidays were awful, and now we're in January which is the anniversary month for a lot of bad stuff for me. My daughter died in January, my dad died in January, my ex-husband left me for a woman 12 years younger than me (only 8 years older than our oldest son!) in January. Suffice it to say that January generally kicks my hiney. Talked to my T and she said all the right things and gave me all the right ways to cope, but they're just not working. I want to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me. Been trying real hard not to s.i., but it's getting more difficult not to at least scratch myself up. Sorry about the "s" word. Don't want to trigger anyone (or myself!). Sorry.

I now have a wonderful husband, a good job, and my youngest son (who still lives at home) is probably the most perfect teenager in existance, but I still feel hopeless and worthless. Can anyone help me?
