This is weird advice, but sometimes I think you have to choose not to think about things. There's a weird balance between thinking about stuff too much and thinking about it too little, and sometimes, if you're getting paralyzed by all the thinking (not that I know whether that's happening to you), you have to tell your brain to shut up for awhile and promise yourself to revisit the issue later. Is thinking about Le Divorce going to help you sort through things or is it just going to make you more upset about shit you can't change?

I second that emotion. There is constructive thinking and then there is destructive obsessing over things you can't change and/or avoiding the things you *can* change. Your primary problem, my darling katie-girl, is that it's very hard for you to tell the difference.

And, you know, hard for me to feel like I'm in a position to give you advice. *HUGS*
