am starting today
Hello everybody, my name is Rene. i am going through a divorce and have been seperated for a little over two years. I am having a hard time moving on. I had such a great life before, i felt so confident in my self, excelled in anything i took on. Since ive lost my wife if found lil or no motivation in doing anything. When im with my kids, my son 5 and daughter 3, i feel happy, excited and good. However, i do get lonely sometimes and miss having someone that i believe in by my side. I dont know whats happened to me but i want to feel that life is great again, i want to feel great in the morning. i want to be able to go back to feeling confident about my self and not be full of fear anymore. I need help. I hope that this is what i need to get me back on my feet so i can help myself and help others because this is no place for anyone to be in.

-Dear Rene
Thanks for sharing your life, aspirations and struggles with us! I can only imagine that having lost your wife, it must difficult to find motivation to move on with life. I have recently been going through a whole slew of struggles that are new, and some that are not so new to me. I am convinced, having been meditating on how long I've suffered with anxiety, that I've suffered from anxiety for some time now, to a higher degree that I had previously thought, or I guess was willing to admit.
I gather that the Man Upstairs has allowed these panic attacks, for me to finally slow down and take a good look at my life paradigm. To me "slowing down" can also be anxiety-producing, because of the lack of activity that I believe is inherent in slowing down. But something that helped me yesterday from a movie was that "being still" and "doing nothing" are two very different things. I am going to start being still and learning a whole new set of skills and discovering some things about myself that are not quite pleasant, while at the same time discovering things about myself that are great! I have faith that at the end of this process, with God's help, I will be a stronger, more fulfilled person, if learn to still my heart nad learn something new.
Rene, I hope that me sharing what I've shared helps you in your journey of discovery and recovery. Here's to a great new beginning for you! I believe that when we are on the other side of this, we will be more able to share ourselves with someone new.
Will-
