That's the spirit! Yes, this storm shall pass. In your down times, think of all the shit you put up with when you were married. You aren't missing him--only the loss of what might have been (if he hadn't been such an ass).
If it gets too much, see your doc for some antidepressant meds. Lots of women (and men!) take them to get through hard periods like this. And yes, try to get out and connect with friends, join a gym--it will help.
Stick around; others will have comments as well, I'm sure.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
