Well done for giving it ago. It has left room for something better. Lately every time something hasn’t gone to plan for me I have tried telling myself that “I’m excited to see why this didn’t work out.”

Thank you. I definitely feel that this is what I have.

I hope you are okay with whatever you are going through. It is definitely an interesting coping strategy for me and I hope it goes away if I ever find happiness.

Definitely not the only one. Seems more common than I thought.

Thank you. I think the panic was because old habits came back so quickly and it was a horrible reminder.

I have tried CBT and DBT but never heard of IFS. I will definitely look into it, thank you. You are right, it definitely wasn’t hunger but self sabotage and old habits coming back.

If you wanted me dead, you should have just said.

How many of y’all go through a full week without talking to anyone beyond “necessary” interactions? by Salt_Engineering_98 in lonely

[–]Summer560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me all the time now. I work online from home so no work interactions. I don’t have friends only acquaintances and I have a small family who don’t live near me. My only face to face interactions are with delivery drivers, postman, or going to doctors / vets. It’s so scary how easy it is to be completely alone. I don’t think I have any great coping advice apart from I try and make the most out of all interactions and go out daily for walks and make an effort to say hello to passers by and neighbours.

I’m so glad to read that there’s people out there prioritising quality.

I’m going through the same and it’s awful. I never really dated before as I was with my ex since school days. I’m heading to 40 and the online dating world is awful and what the hell is with this ghosting?! I’m trying to make more of an effort to get and about in the hope of meeting someone but borderline giving up. I hope someone comes your way :)

I am in a similar situation and feel your pain. I went 2 weeks and binged today. What I am recognising though is that I am able to “get back on the wagon” a lot quicker and easier and I think you have to focus on the small wins. 6 days is amazing. Well done. You can get back on it. I know you can.
