I couldn't wait to get out of a marriage that went bad. So how come now I feel so lost and direction less?

I hate this feeling. I didn't think starting over would feel this empty.

Maybe it's that you invested so much of yourself, so much energy, time, effort and heart that now you need a moment to learn how to invest in yourself? Maybe you got used to having the pain and hurt be your companion and now all there is is emptiness, and you haven't yet found something new as a companion?

Lots of reason to feel as you do. It's also not all that helpful when you hear "time will heal it". You are feeling something real, something sad, and you are going to question it, question your decision to leave - it's natural to do so, and natural to feel the way you do.

It's quite human to feel the way you do... I'm sorry that you do, but also happy for you in knowing you did the right thing and will eventually get to the other side.
