Time to climb out of "the pit" again

Post Reply New Topic

I've had a tough few months lately. The immediate crises (plural) are mostly over, but I feel like I've been knocked back years. In particular, I hardly talk to or see anyone right now, after years of building up my social life. Not sure if I'm depressed, or resting, or both. It's hard to face starting again. Can't stand Facebook at the moment, but shutting my account down also seems a bad idea. My old friends have quietly dropped out of contact. Most of my regular social outings involve singing, which is a problem: my lungs are messed up with an infection I've had for four months, and thirteen years of not going to the dentist has just caught up with me.

How do you get going again when this happens?

First of all, get well soon!

Healing takes time.

And who knows about the "knocked back years" part ... ?
Maybe you're simply on a side road
that leads to an even better road for you
than the one you were on.

It involves being open to new things, ideas, experiences, people
and takes some risk and effort on your part, going outside your comfort zone.
Anything worthwhile does.

I do wonder about that. I've achieved a lot in the last few years, but it always seems to be at the cost of being stressed and sleepless. Maybe this is a warning that it's time to rethink a few things.
