It's amazing how good you can feel one day and how horrible the next. Today I am crying, and wondering what I'm doing with myself. Why am I blogging? I wonder if I'm trying to fill a void that I feel in my life. A void that is now present because of the betrayal. I just feel like there's this big gaping hole and when I really think about it, I realize how empty I really feel. I have no desire to reunite myself with friends in the ward and neighborhood. I feel I don't have the strength to hold a calling. I can barely keep the attention span to read a book.
But I think a big part of me misses my life before the affair happened. I miss who I was and how other people saw me and knew they could come to me as a friend. And it makes me sad. I feel sad enough to just want to hole up in my bedroom and never come out.
I'm sad that people I care(d) about could cause the hurt that I'm feeling. I always felt like I was a good person with good intentions and I feel like I'm being punished for it. I still have my days of wondering how I could have ended up here. And wondering if I'll ever feel completely happy again.
Days like today I wish I could just get away from it all. I wish I could move far away and just start over. I just need a fresh start. But what's the point in wishing for something that is not going to happen. I am here and I need to deal with it. Just not finding the strength today.
It will get better!

Thanks Mara! Do you have a blog of your own?! -just curious- ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I do, but not about affairs. Haven't blogged since I found out, but you can have a look if you mail me at banholland@gmail.com

I have the same problem. Nothing feels the same and I have a huge gaping hole inside me that I want to fill with the things I normally love, but just can't. Especially on bad days like that. Still don't know how to deal with the bad days. Keep pushing forward!
