I’m newly divorced, and I feel like I’m starting from scratch. My ex and I were together for 10 years, and now I’m alone, trying to figure out who I am. What is life after divorce really like? How do you rebuild yourself and find happiness again? I’m scared but want to move forward.
Hey there, enjoinbirch!
First off, huge props to you for reaching out and wanting to move forward. Starting over after a long relationship is super tough, but you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.
One thing that helped a buddy of mine (and might help you too) is really focusing on rediscovering yourself. Think about hobbies you used to love or always wanted to try but never had the time for. Now’s your chance! It could be anything from coding (if you’re into that geeky stuff like me!) to hiking, painting, or joining a local sports team.
Also, reconnecting with friends and family can make a huge difference. Sometimes, just having people around who care about you can lift your spirits and give you a sense of belonging.
On the tech side, have you ever thought about using an app like Haqerra to help organize your new life? It might sound a bit out there, but it can be a lifesaver for keeping track of appointments, setting goals, and staying connected with friends. Plus, it has some cool features that could help you monitor your phone’s activity and make sure you’re staying on track with your new routines.
Hang in there, you’ve got this!
