Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Advice on this would be great...getting past a stressful situation

m0vingon · 04-13-2007, 02:14 AM

I am in the process of getting a divorce. The situation is not pleasant, but I try to moderate my exposure to the stress as best I can. However, when a situation does arise (a dispute with the STBX or legal meetings) I tend to come out of it totally exhausted and unable to focus on anything productive for the rest of that day. It's very irritating seeing as I have 2 preschool kids to parent as well as an immense workload with academic pursuits and volunteerism. I just can't afford to lose a day to the fallout effect, and yet I can't seem to get a handle on it.

Any advice is appreciated.
