Newbie here... Starting over again at 37
Hi Y'all!
Happy to be apart of this community!
A little about me- I went through a pretty rough break up last summer. Was left for another chick after I moved 800 mile to his hometown and started a medical practice with him. It was devastating and I had to uproot myself again. Instead of moving back home, I decided to move to a beach town and start fresh. I love the area I'm in, but it is so tough going through a move, starting a new job (managing a medical practice), being by myself, and dealing with the grief that comes along with the break up. My family is so proud of me, but there are days that I feel like my sanity is hanging on by a thread. I like my job, but there is so much job turnover in healthcare and it's been really stressful. Nevermind dating- I don't even know how to put myself back out there. I'm also dealing with alot of anger- my ex is with the girl he cheated on me with and "looks" so happy on social media. I'm so angry that he seemed to move on and not have to deal with any emotions while I am slooooowly picking up the pieces and just trying to feel like myself.
Thank you whoever is reading my vent!
Hey, welcome and thank you for venting. You should really be very proud of yourself, when you get a minute to take a breath. I know this is a difficult time to have much in the way of perspective, but I think you've done an incredible job making the best of a terrible situation, and you seem to have the coping mechanisms to keep on facing adversity as it comes up. 37 is younger than when I had to start over, so don't worry about your age, you'll find that really doesn't matter as much as it seems. I've found that the dust always settles as long as I'm facing forward and not looking back. Good job, honestly. I'm sorry you had to suffer and are still struggling but I think you'll do well.
