((((((Bee)))))),
Honey, you're finding out how hard it is to start a new life.
I sent myself a card 10 years ago -- just to check and see if the postal forwarding was working because I felt like I wasn't getting all my mail. I wrote a silly little note to myself -- actually had forgotten that I had even written it.
But, when I received it in the mail -- it hit home. I've kept it all these years right where I can see it:

Hi, Barbara! It's me. How are you? "Employed" yet? If yes, where? If not, why not? Can you say "New Boston Systems".
You know I love you and all this crap is going to work out. Some people have a harder time giving birth than others -- you're trying to shove out a 200 pounder!
Talk to you soon.
Love,
The Moose

Bee, it's hard to start over. And give up a lot of the things that used to comfort us.
Give yourself credit for what you've accomplished so far. Be thankful for the beautiful gifts in your life -- like your nephew.
Do what Bizi says -- start some pleasant new rituals in your life that'll give you something to look forward to.
Try to stay away from the negative people as much as possible. OR, tell them straight out you don't appreciate their negativity, it's not really adding anything helpful to your life.
Buy yourself some flowers. And thank G-d that you've gotten a chance to start over again.
BIG HUGS.
Barb
