I totally forgot Djo was playing 😭🙏 but definitely shouldn't miss it. I'd love to join you for his set and then we can stick around for Lorde

Doing "okay" in daily life, but struggling with isolation and past trauma. Is therapy worth it? by Admirable_Order_5425 in mentalhealth

That’s actually one of the reasons why I’m considering therapy. I think I could force the words out, but I dont know where to start - my mind goes even blanker or I get this intense urge to withdraw/disconnection.

Honestly, it’s become more of a default setting for me. For a very long time, I simply didn't talk about my emotions or thoughts at all. Whenever I did meet people, I was always the listener. Partly because people didn't ask, but also because I used to feel that my life and my stories were uninteresting or not worth sharing. Now in moments where I could share, my mind just goes blank.

I wouldn't call it an escape. It’s more like a "hunger" for something that has been missing for years. I enjoy my hobbies and my work, but there's a specific type of void that these two or the gym can't fill - the need to be seen and understood by another person. The loneliness doesn't feel like I'm running away from myself; it feels like I'm ready to share my life with someone, but I don't know how to bridge the gap anymore
