I've been off work for a couple of weeks. Lots of reasons, mostly work related. A lot of confusion around my LO, the fact she has a new boyfriend l, the fact I'm married and the fact that I am bloody miserable has all piled on top of me and really not helped but to the outside world,. it's work related stress.
I work with my LO. She was the one who spotted I wasn't right and told me to take time off. This dumped on her workload but she did it anyway.
Messages me whilst I was off...never anything other than support.
I came back to work this week. She came in on her day off to see me and check I was ok.
This is an awesome friend and I am so lucky.
All the stuff I've read about limerance is that distance and limited contact is the cure.
But this is a great friend and I am so lucky to have her in my life.
I've allowed a lot of muddled feelings to upset me and confuse me. My marriage isn't winning awards at the moment and that isn't helping.
But I need to find a way to put my emotional feelings about my LO to one side and focus on what I've got..which is a great friend who has got my back when the going is bad. And that needs celebrating!
