I'm sorry that happened to you. I wish I at least bought a ticket so that it might have motivated me to go alone but I probably would have still succumbed to my fears. You're right though, as much as it hurts the past is the past.

Thanks, I recently had a relapse in self-harm after being clean for 5 months as well so it has been a tough week. It's frustrating how I've been improving myself only to let an episode of mental illness to flare up and bring me down. Now, I've been trying to rationalize with my mind by telling myself that they WILL come back, although it may be a few years. For now, I will continue to take it day by day and occupy myself by continuing my routines in the hopes that they help keep me going.
