Since we are just talking like real people the last few weeks I don't want to be seen again, as needy, desperate, or weak. Especially seeing as how shes supposedly happy with her babies father at the moment. Of course, that changes almost daily w her.
I'm not looking for a new woman to take her place. I'm alone, lost, and confused.

Some DBT techniques I try using are distracting myself with other tasks, writing about it, calling family and making plans to see people, and action opposite. That basically means that I write down the emotion I'm feeling (for this example, lonely), then I write down the impulse that the emotion makes me want to do (for this example, talk to my ex FWB), then I write down the opposite of that emotion (example, call my mom, volunteer somewhere, etc.), and then you do the opposite of your impulse. This is extremely helpful and is really effective in combating those negative emotions that can lead us to make unhealthy choices. Hope this helps.
