I understand. I don’t know how to fix it but I can empathise, am sending warm vibes of companionship. It’s not you, it just happens to some people. I’m in a boring traditional pathway - uni, partner, house, job, but am isolated too. For me I think when my contemporaries started having kids and I didn’t, they all just slowly disappeared and never got replaced. Family Is dysfunctional so no luck there either. Well done on getting the meds and looking after yourself. Hopefully Gibson will give you some snuggles! I think accepting the situation can help, at least it relieves the feeling of fomo, and then you can focus on what you want to do next.
Thanks so much for your message. I really appreciate it.
I'm not someone who gives up on what they want but I need to grow some more patience.
I will now be able to go out and meet people and not come across poorly because I'm depressed, or instantly assume they wouldn't want to talk to me because of my feelings about myself.
That's the killer part. You're depressed, so you don't have the energy or motivation to meet people and even if you did, you doubt yourself the entire time. I think people pick up on that.
