Ok. I think I understand what you’re saying. I do have a question though: What do you mean by “accepting” the situation? To me, accepting the way things currently are feels a bit like I’m resigning myself to it. I’ve certainly acknowledged the fact and I recognise that I’m feeling sad, but where do I go from here? I don’t want to just go “I’m sad. This is my life now”

For reference, I do have several things I do to keep me busy and to enjoy myself. I try to keep active and do a lot of sport, because I enjoy being active and I find it fun. I try to socialise and keep in touch with friends and family. I also try to eat healthily and get enough sleep (although that’s sometimes easier said than done).

Obviously having these things as distractions is good, but, if I’m not doing anything to deal with the underlying cause, surely things won’t ever get better, unless I just really on blind hope to sort things out.
