About to be 50, sad and numb

In the middle of a separation, a new romantic friend and I broke up, and I'm getting back to work after three years.

Sending you healing vibes and wish you well at work. Maybe once you get back, everything else will fall into place. Change is constant.

@mwm29 That's a lot. Think it's ok to feel sad. (I'm trying to allow myself to feel my sadness instead of distracting myself in different ways so I DON'T feel it, for once.) And new job situations are stressful - always a big learning curve to reach a comfort level.

That is a big load to bear all at once.

Allow yourself to feel what you feel. There is nothing wrong with that.

Revisit your past successes, you can prevail!
