Oh yes it can, Zen Diva. It just takes time. Also, if you find yourself obsessing over it, or if you're in a major funk, then you might consider going to the doctor and getting some pharmacological help. I know a lot of people poo poo that idea, but I can tell you that had I asked the doc for some help earlier (I recommend a psychiatrist, but your internist can work, too), I would have had a much speedier recovery. I finally did ask for the help, and it made all the difference in the world. Also, realize that most of the people who poo poo the idea of psychopharmalogical drugs probably don't know first hand the benefits of them. They also probably never needed them or have felt as sad as you have. It could be, too, that you would only need to be on somehting for a very short period of time, and not permanently (that is probably the case, as it is for most people). Good luck, honey. I've been there. Oh, and one more thing: this has just prepared you for what a good relationship should and will be like...it WILL happen for you.  |
