@Sapien and all:
Congratulations on your sobriety! Thats HUGE!!!
Sorry to hear you are struggling with self-sabotage tho in the relationship department and that your health care provider doesn't want to help you with it. That must be frustrating.
Maybe start smaller? Romantic relationships are tough for the healthiest people. I started with a plant. After i kept that alive for a year, i got a dog. But that was so overwhelming it's taken me eight years to even get a best friend!
I can't even fathom a romantic relationship. It's beyond me. I have just accepted that with my mental illness romantic relationships are too intense for me.
I risked my life getting married in my twenties and came close to death from heartbreak. Much too serious for me. I'm 54 and i've been single for 25 years and it's for the best.
I have longed for a best friend tho and i think since my one close neighbor saved my life by booking me a COVID shot, driving me there and accompanying me thru the process of getting the shot, i can promote her to the status of 'best friend'!
Have a beautiful day!
Jane.
