It's ok to talk about the feelings & what is causing you to feel that way....just not the plans & the fact that you are going to do it.

Talk away about your what is causing you to have those feelings. When I was there, I didn't really know what was causing me to feel that way....just knew that when stress hit, those feelings hit & I didn't have any skills to change the direction of those feelings.....not sure at that point in my life I really wanted to change them either.....but I did live through that horrible period of my life & I can't believe the wonderful life I have ended up with....major changes I had to make in my life & thank heavens for a divorce that I am finally getting. LIfe can be better than we ever imagine especially when we are feeling so horrible.

Talk through the causes of your feelings & also figure out some things that you can do that will take your mind away from it like watching a funny movie (even if you don't feel like doing it) or working on a craft project, or taking a walk....I didn't know this but when you exercise, your mind can't focus on 2 things at the same time.....so it provides a distraction....time passes & sometimes so does the thing that was causing us the distress. Life is never easy.....that we just have to accept....but we can also accept that we can make it through the bad times also & that there really will be better things in the future.
