Graduation Day

I have to say, I am feeling pretty good lately. I am hopeful about the future, generally in a good mood (if you don’t count the normal annoyance of dealing with a douchebag three year old), and actually able to sleep. I have slept the past two nights without the aid of medication, which is a big development. I’ve been taking something to sleep since November. But I can’t do it forever, now can I? So I decided to try to go it alone and see what happens, and it was ok.

I still feel a bit unsure of what I want to do with myself, but I’m giving myself time to think about it. I have time to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I’m trying not to rush myself into making decisions I don’t have to make yet. The answers will come. Eventually.

I think that I’m going to wean myself off therapy. Slowly, of course. I’ll reduce to every other week, which will be a relief to my bank account. But I feel ok about it. I skipped this week because my therapist had a conflict and it’s fine. I don’t NEED to get the emotions out every week anymore.

I’m doing big girl things like dealing with the end of my car lease and buying a new one. I haven’t done this alone, well, ever. My next big task will be to find health insurance, as I won’t have coverage once the divorce is final.

I can do this. I’m going to be ok.

    Love that last line!
    Does STBEX’s company offer COBRA? Or maybe they’re too small?

    Does your company offer insurance? Once you start doing things by yourself more and more, it’s a very liberating feeling.

    You’re awesome!

    You CAN do this scary thing. And you’ll come out on the other side of it okay!

About Queen Bitchypants

I'm a mid-thirties gal trying to get my shit together in the midst of chaos: a divorce, a toddler and a dog. The cast of characters: EX (ex husband), Betsy (pseudonym for my three year old daughter) and Bowser (pseudonym for my dog, although why he needs one, I don't know, it just seemed fair since everyone else has one.)
