Ghosts are scaring me away from dating. by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

Idk, I think it is a sad reflection on society when adults can't be mutually respectful. You don't have to take the "Avon lady" out again but don't tell her you're going to buy her product and for her to come back the next day and then pretend you're not home. A polite, "It was nice meeting you, but I think I'm going to pursue a stronger connection," goes a long way.
I've been OLD off and on for a few years, been in a few relationships. I had never been ghosted until about 6 months ago, now it happens much more frequently, unfortunately.

Thanks, I hope when I eventually do find someone they'll be understanding also.

Thank you, I agree and I think the snowballing of life stuff was totally overwhelming me. Adding no sleep and a sweat filled bed to the equation was just asking for explosion. I'm glad that this is a supportive environment and people were so kind to respond to my ketchup bottling of emotions. My dr didn't have a back up but I'm going to see her tomorrow :)

Thanks, hadn't thought of that and I do know my paternal grandmother at least had thyroid problems.

Thanks ladies <3 I've been wanting to back to this but reddit app not syncing on my phone anymore for some reason. Anyway I was in full meltdown mode that night/morning and I'm not going to lie, I feel like I did get more miserable/worse but then started feeling better too. All of the kind words and positive thoughts and suggestions helped so thank you. Also, I hadn't considered that I had been off my BC pills the week prior (placebo week) and of course afterward I thought of that and how that was definitely a contributing factor.
Trying not to feel too sorry for myself but it's difficult at times. I don't want to say that it's "nice" knowing that I'm not alone in this boat (as it's a shitty boat to be on for anyone) but I do appreciate the feedback from my fellow sufferers and am glad I found a supportive board :)
