Thanks for your replies monklet80 and Vj – I’ll certainly have a look at the links you sent on.

Monklet80 – In reply to your questions around the community. Indeed, there are a few things I have been looking into. I did a walk a couple of months ago with a local walking group, which I plan to do again as I did enjoy it (They only really come up every so often). I’ve also recently been looking into volunteering for some events at my local LGBT centre and just last night I looked at a beginners meditation course which looks at the various aspects of meditation (Mindfulness, movement etc)it starts on the 20th for 8 weeks, so I am seriously considering booking a place.

I don’t know, at the end of the day, it’s the times when I’m alone at home when I feel it the most. I’m still trapped in this love/hate situation with my most recent partner, it’s still so fresh in my head – all the hurtful things he did and said to me constantly going over. It’s taking me a lot longer than I hoped to move on. I know they are just thoughts and I can see them and let them go but that skill takes time and patience to perfect.
