Happened to check the board and saw a few people who hadn't been here in awhile also. Been busy with school, single parenting, work, etc. Going basically pretty well. Being so busy definitely makes picking just not an option anymore. And I've been taking minocycline which works really well for acne, so there's not really anything to pick. And somewhat of a relief in my personal life. Husband has been moved out for several months now, and just not having criticism around all the time has done wonders for my self-esteem. I hadn't noticed how living with him was like living with my parents - I'd grown used to the negative vibe. My parents weren't bad people, but they sure could make me feel self-conscious a lot. Dating life is sorta on hold, so therefore no sex once again, and I think that adds anxiety. I dated a guy for a few months, fell madly in love, and we just couldn't work it out. I miss him, and I'm sad for it, but for once I'm trying to just take the hit, move on with my life, and focus on other things. Trying to tell myself that things happen that just hurt, and there's no getting around that, but it won't be permanent or have a greater impact unless I let it.
