I am starting to feel like I'm turning a corner. I still feel sad about my breakup but the powerful, nearly overwhelming sadness and sense of loss I was experiencing seems to be waning. I no longer feel a tightness in my chest when I think of Lidia. I think it's starting to turn into just a normal level of sadness.

Of course, right now this all very tenuous. I worry a bit that I'll drop right back in that pit of despair if she tries to contact me again or if I happen to see her somewhere. I'll try to make sure that that doesn't happen. At least I know now that I'm going to come through this alright. I mean I always knew that intellectually but now I can feel it emotionally.
