And now I have mixed feelings. I feel very tired from the lack of sleep. I feel a sense of relief but mostly feel horrible about what I did. I called my sister and she was understanding. Later I talked briefly to my friend and he wasn't. It seems like he wants to give me the brush-off now. I never was that crazy about him, but he is all that I have as a friend.

I hope that I will get over this horrible feeling I have about myself. I get the feeling that it's going to stay with me for a long time. I'm feeling like no one understands. I had some crying bouts today and that's rare for me. Especially when I unpacked my bag and later went grocery shopping.
Kudos to you for having the courage to even make plans to go somewhere by yourself. I haven't been anywhere in years, as I don't want to go alone. But even if I wanted to, just making the plans (COVID or not) is daunting.

I get the racing feelings; I get them at night when it's so quiet and it's easier to think or worry. No distractions..

Substandard friends---I have 2 or 3 (?) of them in life too. Like you they are all I have, but is it better not to have them in my life at all?

May I ask how you met him? Did you meet him at something like your local senior or recreational center? I met both women at this senior place, and they both have fallen short of a friend in many ways. One was from support group and she turned out to be the least supportive person I ever met.

It could be that maybe the time wasn't just right for a trip, yet like the timing? I don't know. I struggle with stuff like that too, like is this the time to try to do this.....
