โI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. I stopped drinking for a month and my anxiety dropped a lot.โ
โI was right where you are about three years ago. Back then it was friends all married with kids now. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โI've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Moved for work and know nobody. That was my life. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back.โ
โIf you are just starting out with this, I won't pretend it's easy. I went to a meetup and left after twenty minutes. Christmas was a quiet day with the radio on. The phone only rings with spam now. But I've learned that small things help: feeding the birds, a chat at the library. Try to find one person who will meet you for a walk. It doesn't fix everything, but it's a start. D.โ
