In reply to Chrystina. Oh fudge ... yum. I had to google bubble tea. For anyone else who needs to know it's "Bubble tea, also known as pearl milk tea or boba milk tea, is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Taichung, Taiwan, during the 1980s." First you introduce me to smores now this bubble tea thing.

My go to feel better things are hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles, bubble tea, or a nice hot chai. Really anything I can eat or drink gets the job done though…

In reply to Just another thought. I think there are similarities in the grieving process between a break-up and a death, same, same but different.

Just a further comment on the exercise thing. When I broke up with my long term partner, I was feeling grief and a lot of anger. The gym was my sanity saver – I did aerobics classes a couple of times a week and released all my anger and feeling in punches and kicks and “the grapevine”. Anger is a different fuel to grief, and I cannot compare my experience to yours at all, but I just thought I’d share this. xxx

In reply to Madoqua. Isn't it weird how the weather can impact on moods, the wind is driving us crazy at the moment.

Janine
I am so sorry you are all feeling so down. Hopefully, the sad wind will blow itself out and a beautiful spring day will give rise to happier feelings for you all tomorrow.
Thinking of you.

In reply to Emma Siossian. Thank you for my manicure Emma, note that was my sanity saver on Sunday. Why do you all keep mentioning exercise? Clearly you have banded together in collusion with the counsellor and doctor in an attempt to get me moving. I'm happy to try the cake and chocolate though.

Hi Janine, the only good thing about the rollercoaster metaphor is knowing that at some point there will be chance to travel up….if only there was a neon light saying when, that would be much more reassuring! DVDs and doonahs sound good in this weather…I can drop in the seachange series? xxx
