Day 26

What a week. An emotional roller coaster. A challenge. I don't think I can put it all in to words just yet. Everything is still sinking in.

Thank you Aimée for your comment. I cant believe it has almost been a month now. So much has happened in that time and so much has been achieved. A lot still needs to be done.

Is it possible to be in love with two people? Can you love someone who you can't be with yet love another person just as much at the same time?

Yes and yes. It is a cliche that you never forget your first big love, but I think it is true.

Keep going John, you are doing really well!

Hi there!

Just came across your blog, and I'll be back!

My wife is a Dorset girl - from the west of the county & she thinks from the (scant) details in your blog that you're from the more urban east (yes?).

About your question about loving 2 people, my wife & I have conferred & we think that it IS possible to love 2 people. However, romantic love dies unless it is fed, so the love you have for your ex will diminish in time; if your current love situation continues, it will grow, and in time it will eclipse the old one.

The end of your last relationship has been a severe body blow to your self confidence. Let's hope that this new relationship will restore that.

I've read all your posts, and I can see that you've come on quite a bit in the last (almost) 4 weeks. All of the accounts I've read about panic/anxiety sufferers on their roads to recovery seem to take on the form of 2 or 3 steps forward followed by 1 or 2 steps back. As long as things are improving in the longer term, it doesn't matter about 1 or 2 (or more) bad days.

Marie & I are rooting for you!

Hello cathy and robert! I think you are both right, you dont forget someone that you love but I suppose that you do move on eventually. Its just such a shame to let go of such a wonderful thing. I think there will be a poem or short story on the subject soon.

Yes robert I am from the east part of dorset. Much prefere the west (not just because its cheaper house prices). love the countryside and the beaches.

My last relationship really did hit me hard. it was the one thing I had left at the time, the one thing that made me happy. It broke my heart to loose such a good friend as well as a partner.

the last few weeks certainly have been eventful. Cant believe how much has happened and I never thought that I would have a new friend. I have only had my family around me. the last time I had a friend was my ex, who I haven't seen in 18 months! Although I am grateful to the OU as I have made some grate friends in there. Dont know what I would have done without it.

thank you to you all for your support!
