Hey all, I am new on here, I find myself so busy with work, studies looking after my parents, that I feel like I'm slipping into a dark hole of exhaustion, like many I am lonely too after a break up of an 8yr relationship and the end of a 20 year friendship my friendship circle has gotten small, having mild anxiety and depression I tend to hide out at home often, I am sure many can relate...if anyone wants to connect and share about life and existence that would be awesome! 😊🌸

Sometimes our friendships or relationships come to an end and it’s not always a bad reflection of ourselves. People grow apart and look for different things, people change. It’s quite normal for friendship groups to dwindle in early adulthood because this is when the most change is taking place. I don’t have many friends but to those who are my friends I hold them dearly.

I am in same boat.. Except i am not losing myself.. i lost myself! :) Feel free to message me and we can take a journey of finding ourselves slowly with a small friend group.  Start a small friend group and find out how to find ourselves again! ***, whatsapp, something? Small baby steps to motivate each other.. Otherwise you can always send me a message and I will listen.  I more than likely can relate. This goes for anyone.  Life is exhausting..  @orangePlum1338

I am on the precipice of ending an 8 year relationship. Any advice would be appreciated. I thought maybe since you've been through it we can be good consolation for each other. Help each other find out fire again.

Sorry to hear about your breakup, I thought getting myself back out there dating again would help, it was fun but not what I truly needed,

I am going to therapy now, to deal with my trauma which is what I need some deep healing.

I am sorry that I am just seeing this, however, I wish that you are well and that you have recovered fully from the setback.  I have had several setbacks and am going through one right now but a setback is always a comeback.  The time between the setback and the comeback is awful but it is worth the endurance.

Hey! I completely understand. I've been in a burn out from an 8 year abusive relationship. I also don't have much family to depend on, certainly no one older than me within my biological family. I know how hard life can be.

How are you coping? yes its not easy not having much support from family/friends, have you got any self care techniques? exercise, meditation, journaling, I am going to therapy now which is helping me heaps.
