Kkasxo,

I can really empathise with how you feel, our reasons may be different for feeling this way, but the symptoms – I definitely get. I think moving away from contact with everyone might not be the best idea at the moment. I get that the way you’re feeling, it might be nicer and easier to be on your own, but I know a lot of people close to me with depression anxiety etc and isolation has only made them worse whereas being around people, however much you don’t feel like it, stops you from retreating into your head and possibly the lies it might tell you in your darkest moment.

Keep going with the therapy and maybe say to your therapist that you feel you are dis-improving and need urgent help now and actions you can take to help improve your peace of mind. They should be able to guide you whether you need to look forward or look back to get to the bottom of things.

Michelle,

I understand to an extent what you are saying. But my feelings are not changing. I have not contacted him, I’m going to work, I’m considering travel, I have started a new course, I’m planning breaks with families and friends, I’ve started playing guitar again. I thought I was taking action. Or do you mean a different kind of action. I suppose I thought I was doing the right thing and trying to move forward and my feelings would change accordingly as everyone assures me they will, but they haven’t. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something?

P.S thanks for contributing from your adventure!
