I feel like Crap

Joe,
I guess it's been a bit longer than 2 weeks for me but not by far.  It'll get extremely traumatic at times but 123 is right.  You need to find things to keep yourself busy.  I've found that the weekends, late at night and early in the morning are the most difficult.  Perhaps finding new habits to fill these times will help as it starts to sink in.  Knowing you are going through a change you have an opportunity to make whatever life adjustments you like and you could be better for them if you seek out positive things for you.

I've actually had a great day today and that's a real accomplishment. 

Things do get a little better as time moves on so hang in there!  We all know how you're feeling.

Joe, the days are slow but the months go fast.  I cannot believe it has been 6 months for me.  I see him and he is very happy while I am living in my own personal nightmare.  I have started to have good moments.  Friends, this site, therapy, the gym, and my children are helping me to survive.  Hang in there!

YOU WILL FEEL LOTS OF EMOTIONS FOR A LONG TIME. IM DIVORCED ALMOST 7 YEARS AND IM STILL HAVING EMOTIONS, AND STILL TRYING TO DEAL WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN.BUT THINGS DO GET BETTER WITH TIME.

Joe,  How can you not feel badly after 24 years together and then ....nothing.  Everyone here can commiserate!  It's not just that your marriage is over, its that the rest of your life is not going to be the picture you thought it was going to be. Grief is very hard to handle.  It has been 4 months for me.  2 weeks out I actually was handling things well.  Now it is really sinking in and the grief process is starting all over again.  The only thing I can say is be prepared for a lot of ups and downs.  This site has been a life saver for me and I know it will help you too.  Hang in there....IT WILL GET BETTER.... and then a little worse.... AND THEN BETTER AGAIN.... before you know it, it will all be better.  I hope!

Hang in there - they say it takes at least two weeks to break a bad habit and a "Dear John" letter after 20+ years is going to take some time. I am a year out and will still have  days that I cannot "get it together" and the slightest little thing will have me in tears. Thankfully, those days get fewer and farther apart. 

Still there doing that, it has been 6 weeks for me, but I think everyday I feel a little better.  Still not whistling happy tunes and skipping down the walk though.  Hang in there, go for a walk, hit a gym anything to keep the mind and body working together.  It will get better.  Stay strong and be well.

I've felt like crap for 4 months since she said she looked into it.  Hang in there.. things should get better...
