What does your new guy think? Does he make you feel special so that you feel you deserve happiness?
Yes he does, blue. He’s making me question all the negative things I say about myself and the way I’ve trained myself to believe I don’t deserve anything. I haven’t felt this way about anyone since I met my husband back when I was 19. Now we’re taking things slow of course because I’m so ****ed up but he makes me want to get better. Just a month ago I was posting on here about how I was irrevocably damaged and didn’t care anymore. Now I do care. I don’t want to be just a shell of a person anymore. And he makes me feel like it’s possible to face everything that came with my husband’s death; the betrayal, the grief, the guilt...face it all instead of being a bitter angry person for the rest of my life. It’s incredible.

I’m not even hypomanic or drunk today lol.
