I hadn't really posted over here. Normally, am found in the med area. Anyway, I guess I just want a sympathetic ear or something. I'm wondering how you get a life back after feeling better - or start a new life? My odessy started 2 years ago. Due to my mental health issues, I quit work about six months ago. It was a good move and no amount of drugs or therapy or ovarian fortitude was going to make me ok there. The problem is, that was my social circle - not good, but it was. Now, I feel a little lost, left out, etc. The calls and invits have stopped and I feel quite forgotten. I call, but everyone is "so busy". How do you begin a new social circle? It's really hard as you get older. Has anyone had this happen? What did you do? I really enjoy not working right now. My marriage has managed to stay intact and I like the time home with my child - who is basically grown and home from school for the summer. Any words of wisdom? I would like to "just do it", but where to start???
Thanks
