[QUOTE]Originally posted by OracleofDreams: [QB] Heather: No, I have not gone to any counseling because I didn't think I had a problem. When I started drinking heavily and using drugs I thought I was just having 'fun'. I have not gone to a doctor either. What I did to help the healing process was that I talked to those closest to me about my situation with my ex and they were supportive of me. I am also an artist so I would spend a lot of time painting and drawing as a way to relieve stress, anger, and other negative feelings, and I still do that now. I've also been doing little things like looking nice when I go out in public and I'm thinking about changing my hairstyle. But that's all I've been doing to help me heal from that relationship. atm1: Thanks for your supportive words. I hadn't thought about developing a strong community of women because while I do have girl friends, most of my closest friends are guys, and my best girl friend goes to university somewhere else. I will try to do that. To be honest, I don't really want to go to counseling. I know that I have a problem but I don't want to make a huge issue of it, and frankly I am embarrassed to be suffering so much because of my abusive ex. I am just hesitant. I'm just not sure what to do. Also, I've always had an issue with gaining weight, but I would like to. I really did think that I lost a little weight though. For now, I am going to try to stop drinking heavily and using drugs. I don't know what to do, maybe I just need more time to heal.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
