thanks @abc01 and @happylife
yes, I've learned that I'm stronger than I thought, but I don't know if I'm as strong as I need to be to get through this
yes, believing that the situation is temporary is one of the things that has helped me so far, and practically speaking that must be true, but it's become clear that that does not mean "brief" and that there are people with more resources than I who are determined to drag things on for quite some time
thanks for the words about feelings and self-judgement, but the good news is that you're preaching to the choir in that regard
