Overcoming fear
Hello, I'm not sure if this is even the right place to ask this. After a period of depression, I have ostracized myself from some of the friends in my life. Now that I'm better, I still have a great fear of trying to reach out to them. Every time I think of trying to reconnect with them, or at least see how they are doing, I get caught up and can't do it. The fact of this is weighing more and more.
Any good advice?
I went through the exacts same thing. During winter I dropped to the lowest point of my life. I cut everyone out. It got to the point where'd I only say one to no words at all to the people I considered the closest. Now, in my case, it didn't go back to normal. After reaching out to them it felt good, but I always had a sense of a barrier between us. Just don't expect for everything to go back to normal, and maybe along the way, stop and think, do I really want to be friends with this person again? Or do I just want to go back to the way I was? Cause' after December I realized I was more mature, and I didnt really fit in with them anymore. Just keep a clear mind, and think before taking any actions. (:
