Isolating is difficult because on one hand it is hard to get support and yet on the other hand it can be a time of healing. Stay in touch here at PC and slowly rejoin others as you feel better. Don’t beat yourself up for isolating—sometimes it can be a very healthy thing to do…but, like everything else moderation is the key. Sometimes when I isolate I have to force myself to do one positive thing for myself. It may be a long hot shower or making myself dinner or whatever. I try not to let myself get too negative—focus on some of the positive. I know, the positive is almost impossible to think about when you are in such a state. For me, the only way to change how I viewed my anniversary (Christmas) was to actively do something different. I hope you are doing okay. I’ll try to keep a look out for your posts.
