I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Really hating how miserable I feel every time I have to see my ex. Felt good this morning, had a plan for today, going to get some work done. And then I have to see my ex and it just always goes terribly. It's painful. It's hard to believe this is where we're at after 10 years. Feels surreal. It's just so unpleasant every time we interact and I wish it didn't leave me feeling this way. It's frustrating being so influenced by it all. I just want to get past this stage to a place where I don't care anymore and I can get on with my life. But it still hurts I guess. I feel ok until I have to see them, then it just hurts and I struggle with wanting to do anything useful after that. Quite honestly feel like I could go lie down and cry right now.. eyes are stinging. Just hate the way things ended, how things are now, and that I can't get away from it. I just want to get on with my life. I need to have a think about how to make this work better, less interaction with the ex when picking up/dropping off my son. The less we see of each other the better. Hate how much it sets me back every time. I just want to feel capable again. Sick of feeling like this.
