I have always loved numbers, so Sudoku helps me a lot. When I feel down and when I could not focus on anything, I will try a couple games before bed. Someone says the game is addictive, and I figure that's exactly what I need right now.

If you think about your separation all the time, you need to force yourself to stop. When my stbx first left, I thought about him a lot more than he was with me. It made me feel very sad. So every time, my mind starts to go down that road, I try to find something else to do. One afternoon, I watched "Moonstruck" three time in a row. I didn't get anything done, but I was not miserable. It is hard, but it can be done. Good luck!
