Kelsey,
It's good to hear that today is better. Get all ready for that party this weekend.
Set some boundaries for you and your ex-boyfriend. If you are going to talk to him and you think that he is bad for you, then make sure you have a limitation to how close you are going to get again.

Today is a bit better.
I was having a good week because I was excited for my staff party. There's another staff get together this weekend so I'm just focused on that and I'm a bit better today.
As far as the ex-boyfriend goes, he called again today and we talked for about 10 minutes. He wants to call me tonight and I said ok. I know that I can do better but it's nice to have a friend to talk to. Thank you everyone for the posts.
Kelsey,
Sorry to hear about your bad day. What were you doing last week that made you feel so good? What triggered this bad day? Try to keep a journal of your feelings so you understand your ups and downs.
As for your ex-boyfriend, I think that you should just forget he called you. If it was really important he will call you back or he would have left a message for you. You said so yourself that you know you will be happier without him in the long run so deal with the pain and emotions of losing him now and don't drag it out.
Hope today is going better for you.

Hi Kelsey
Sorry to hear you are down after a good week. I think when you do have a good week, the low feeling seems even worse than when we are down all the time! The best bit though is that you now KNOW that you can have a good week and that will turn into weeks.
How to be strong enough to resist your ex? Well thats a hard call.
you know you are better off without him but as you say, the lonelyness makes us all very vunerable. Try to text him about his call so you dont actually speak, just say sorry to have missed your call, hope he is o.k and try to leave it at that. If you get to talk to him, you may just weaken.
you are doing so well. Hang on in there.
good luck
The last week I've been feeling very good! My ex and I stopped talking and I started focusing on myself and hung out with some work friends and it felt pretty good. Yesturday, for a really weird reason, I had a horrible day. I all of a sudden felt extremely lonely, my brother came into town and I didn't even want to go see him. It was like my world came crashing down.
Then out of no where my ex called last night. I missed the call and he didn't leave a voice mail. Now I'm wracking my brain on why he may have called. Does he want me back? Is he sorry for having been so not understanding? or does he just want to see how I am? If he does want me back I don't want to be with him but I might not be strong enough to resist the familiarity! Having someone to talk to and not being as lonely. How do I avoid this quick fix cause I know in the long run I'd be happier without him.
