I am now five months divorced. Two weeks ago would have been our fifth anniversary. I am not getting over this one - it was a good decision to let go for me - but I find that I am not moving on. Every time I am faced with a situation which reminds of my feelings - I shut down. IDK if this part of the healing journey or not - as I don't want to do anything that reminds that I am alive and have choices on how to do just that. I was so greatly disappointed and hurt that I am having trouble trusting others won't hurt me too. I don't trust that life won't hurt so I avoid it. When I came here I did so because it feels safer than starting over in the real world.

Any advice from others who have gone before me?
