Anyone who's as good for you as she seems to be is good in my books. I am really looking forward to meeting your LF. Anyone who’s as good for you as she seems to be is good in my books.

Easy for me to say, and I know you have heard it till your sick of it, but give yourself time. You, the boys, hell the whole family has had a very dramatic year. I for one think your doing very well.

It's funny and frustrating how I'm unable to turn off the anxiety. People say, "don't worry," but that's about like telling me to stop being drunk while I'm in the midst of being drunk.

It was absolutely crippling. I would walk out of the house, go down my 3 flights of stairs and go right back up to check the iron, locks, stove, water, iron, locks, stove, water... and on and on. I would go back up 3 or 4 times. I lost about 20 pounds from all the stairs! LOL! Depression for me means incredible muscle pain. Exercise cured me more than the meds ever could.

Like you I had (still have) a young child and a life that had to go on immediately after I lost my wife. We took the hit, fell down and got up with a few stumbles bobs and weaves. After a year or so, the impact really began to hit both of us. Like a volcano trapped inside a rock cap, it eventually exploded on me. My daughter started to manifest the loss too. There isn't much I can say except we both ended up in counseling for a while. I needed to find a third party to unload on. It was tough on my daughter too. She needed a strong base to rely on and I began to crack up a bit - that was hard on her, plus she needed to talk with a grief counselor too. So it was a double whammy for her. We survived the tsunami that came back from a distant shore. But sometimes even now, I miss her more than I ever thought I would.. And my daughter does too. It's like driving away from the Grand Canyon. Everything around is flat and normal, but for quite a distance, you can tell there is a big hole behind you.

I proceeded to meet her, fall hard for her (and she for me), and the freak the fuck out. I'm also not guilty. Not prone to that. Just generally tripping some. She's been patient and tenacious. She's a very, very fine woman. And, yes, if I was dating me, I might not have had the vision to stick around with me. I'm much more up and down than I would have thought. FWIW, I've been reading "The Mindful way Through Depression" - eastern meditation meets western MRI scans. Good shit and finally helping me become more mindful of my anxiety and depression. I worry about my kids A LOT. Anyway, just catching up with your last hundred or so posts (nice T-shirt!), having been caught up in (not-very-electric) ladyland and it's interesting to see us in similar shoes, AT. Keep us posted.
