Tomorrow would have been my 25th anniversary. I got divorced in November. Although I've managed to get through life this far....... Avoidant personality is is now causing me some old problems. Meeting new people is hard. I feel lonely and sad.

Divorce has its own grieving process. November is still relatively recent.

Hi there, I was only married for 3 years (together 9). I totally understand where your coming from. I made a recent post in another AvPD thread that kinda told my life story. You should check it out I think you can find it through my profile. I put in some things I'm doing to kind of get myself out there. I can share that part with you now.
Meetups.com - if you haven't heard of it check it out. It's a great way to see whats out there. Deal with the anxiety first if you can and being genuinely open about what your experiencing I found that people are actually not as evil as I thought.
I have a mixed bag, I have anxiety meetings, depression meetings, some physical activities, and some real soul searching meets. Healthy body, mind, and soul is the key to feeling like a person again rather than a husk of a shell (I only assume that's how you feel since that is how I felt). Not going to lie, I still hurt even though my divorce started last Thursday I feel good about myself for once in my life just getting to know the real me.
