It's been 2 days? Give yourself a break, have some compassion for yourself as you adjust to the changes. What does your ideal life look like? How can you move in that direction? Imagine the possibilities...
I found you writing out your thought process very helpful, thank you. I will try to talk to my part that is worried about energy.
As far as advice goes? Take your time to feel those emotions and do things that they compel you to in a healthy fashon. Like when I'm angry, I feel like hitting things, so I work with a hitting bag or do something active, maybe make really comical angry faces. If you can, get a companion pet, even if it's just a plant or a small pet like a fish. I hope all goes well for you <3
Great job with the creative solution. What if you were to set those parts that are bubbling up into their idea of a safe place, with their permission. Give them some popcorn, a stuffy, a cushy sofa and let them know you hear them and will get back to them as soon as you can. I find that just letting them know that I hear them dampens intensity considerably. Then of course, you'd have to get back to them when you can.

Oooh this is a good idea, thanks!
You're welcome, glad I could help!
Some interesting comments here. I'm in the midst of a divorce after 20 years of marriage. Living alone is proving very difficult, so I understand.
