As for Kari's suggestion of writing your way through it. One thing you can do is to open up another e-mail account and when you feel like writing about any part of how you feel now, do so in an e-mail and send that to your new account! You don't have to open it and read it, you know what you just wrote, but, maybe a few months to a year or so down the road, go there and open them and read what you wrote and you can take note of how much you've advanced in that amount of time, or notice how different you felt about things "back then" and how much you've progressed since then.
A slightly less cheaper way to do it is to go to your local store and buy a big spiral note book with a few hundred blank lined pages and just hand-write your thoughts in there (or, if you have a recording device, just talk onto it) and then, when you want to look later, it's right there instead of risking your e-mails going into the ethers never to be seen again if you don't open them by a certain amount of time. My ex-girlfriend in the `80's & I did that for a while. We called them our "Book Of Shadows". Of course, we'd date and time each entry so we'd know when it was that we felt how we felt at each point in time. I don't think I've bothered to go through mine in a good while, but I'm sure it'd be interesting! That was SUCH an INCREDIBLY emotional period of time for me!!
