@amiableJar7172 what's an LDR? I looked it up but it just said 'light development resistor'...some kind of mechanical thing.

Things that helped or are helping me with a long term relationships breakup:

  1. Learning more about grief and loss so it was a bit less mysterious and isolating
  2. Doing nice things for myself (for example: buy a couple pretty sets of underwear, a bouquet of flowers - daffodils are nice this time of year - line underwear drawer with scented paper and sachets of lavender and rose)
  3. Learning more about boundaries and practicing what I learn
  4. Learning more about health, wealth and happiness
  5. Affirming my value and worth over and over
  6. Believing I'll be well and can get through it
  7. Apps like Finch, Voidpets and In The Rooms
  8. Lots of YouTube videos like this one from Douglas Bloch, who was going through not just the dissolution of his relationship, but of his career and survived  https://youtu.be/9kTsUJRs8Lo?si=cyu80KZ-zdyGQR4O
  9. Byron Katie's "the work" support sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday www.thework.com and lots of her videos too
  10. Workbooks, self help books, happiness notebooks, journals...investing in things that improve my well-being.
  11. Accessing the community I'm in for any resources, workshops or just a free coffee and listening ear
