Re:memories annoy me txmom3: That is one of the stages of extrem grief. look on line and read about grief. That means you are on the right track to healing. Good luck it is a hard road but worth the trip...
Huggs because you will need it...
Re:memories annoy me Terry: Having been through a couple other tragedies than latest loss.... I have found that as the first year after situation passes..... it gets easier! I am trying to keep that in mind as I wait for this aftermath year to go through!
As you pass by each momentous occasion... your mind seems to automatically drift to where you spent it last!
This time..... I'm going to combat that automatic response by planning ahead to do something fun! (ok... what SHOULD be fun)
Maybe it helps to remember those times! If so.... do it and cry and let go!
But if you can, head into them with something new and better in mind!
Make new memories! I guess we already are by talking to everyone here!
Small pleasures! :)

memories annoy me Dino: Da*n memories. I can laugh again now and enjoy myself sometimes.
I have found though, that often when I am laughing, its because I remember some situation or something from a movie. Just that my ex was always with me so i always associate things with her. I laugh for about 10seconds then the memory comes along with the depression.
It sucks.
Re:memories annoy me Dino: Thanks guys
I go out places and into things with the intentions of having a good time but sometimes I can't help myself. Once I get depressed it often takes me a couple of hours to pull myself out of it.
I won't give up though. I know I am a strong person. I'll just see what tomorrow brings.
Re:memories annoy me Lumpy: Dear Dino,
Get yourself some cheese dip you mendicant!! Just funning. You'll know that you are beginning to heal when those memories actually bring a smile to your face instead of making you sad. Stay Sane.
