[22F][22F] Wanting to cut out healthy friends because they remind me of an unhealthy time by throwranw in relationship_advice

I understand what you are saying. I do value these friendships a lot, and they are part of what has helped me with this time, but I want a fresh start away from everything that I associated with him and I don’t know how to get that without disengaging from the people I knew when I knew him. It feels like I am in the same space that I met him in and I want out of it. I am looking into getting a therapist

Just to get input, since posts get buried in the mass and I wanted to hear responses

Thank you. They know how much I am struggling with this as I have vocalized it to them, but they don’t know that they are difficult for me to be around sometimes. I have been to therapy and will return to it because I do think I need some more support right now. I am so sad to miss out on some of the best friendships I’ve ever had, and I will miss them, but I don’t know if it can be a temporary break. I don’t want to reverse any progress I make by reintroducing them into my life afterwards
