Dear Sky,

One aspect of your current situation is that it is temporary and you are going to finish your current educational process in a year’s time.

You described anxiety attacks, guilt, anger, pain and unhappiness inside.

One suggestion is to try and deal with just one situation at a time, to keep focussed on just the thing that you are doing in the best way that you can. Our external circumstances are as it is difficult to deal with. It is not fair to ourselves that we compound that by pressurizing ourselves with expectations that are unreasonable.

About embracing isolation, we need to understand and accept that we are good and worthy as we are. Anytime we find ourself criticizing ourselves, we need to challenge that and replace it with thoughts that are nourishing.

There is no hard and fast rule that making friends after 30 has to be difficult. When we love ourselves, when we understand and do what is best for ourselves, then people who are good for us and well suited to us are more likely to come to our lives.

Take care
