Resilience Running Out

[ParrotHarriet]

Just that really. Things are getting worse. I thought I had already hit the low point but clearly not. Whilst mentally I'm in a better place my resilience to my ex's BS behaviour is running out. I'm drained emotionally and financially. I just can't see the end any more and yet we're supposedly so close. Every day brings another issue, another threat, another problem which is mine to bare. And it is a different one each time. I'm burnt out from it all. I can't take any more. I need to dig deep and get through the next few months but honestly I have no idea how too.

You poor thing, you sound exhausted. It is so hard when you can't see through all the shit life throws at you. When I feel overwhelmed with stuff I just try to take it day by day, even hour by hour sometimes. I write a list of what I need to get done, work out when to do them and then only think about the stuff that needs doing right now. Writing the list itself can seem overwhelming but for me it really helps.
As for dealing with your ex, grey rock all the way. Only respond when you absolutely have to, in very neutral terms. It's hard to start with but will help in the long run. I also used to visualise myself in a force field or bubble, any insults, digs or shit he said didn't reach me, it would just bounce off.

Deep breaths, take it hour by hour, ignore your ex as much as possible. You'll get there.
