Big travel plans 2nd week of May.
Yikes. I'm afraid of driving again. Going out to buy food. Swimming in a pool instead of the freedom of the sea. How will I cope? I plan on these Meet-up groups to battle isolating. And depression. Is it in my head these fears? Maybe I'm making fear up?Idk.

I'd suggest starting very gradually (or you may plummet back, in my experience): just being amongst people but not really interacting, like moving through crowds. Not yet visiting friends or you might be disappointed by your struggle to regain sociability.
Meet-ups sound useful. Never tried that. Good luck!

Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

Good idea. In think I tend to try and assimilate too quickly.

I think I'd be apprehensive too.
Just take it slow like icare recommended. Hugs.

I've basically been a recluse for 8 months. I mean, I go to work and I see people there, but I don't really talk to anyone. I stay at home when I'm not at work. And sometimes I even work from home.
I started meeting people at the gym I go to. I met some guy yesterday named Rahi. He goes to most of the classes at my gym. I bet you could make a lot of friends if you swim at a gym. Heck, you might want to consider taking swimming classes. You know, a workout class, not swim lessons. |

I have a Jr Olympic size pool where I live. My girlfriends like to swim with me. But I'm looking at gradually getting back into city life.
I have a Pdoc appt. I'll be needing refills. I may fly back down here in July. To heck with all the projects to be done in the states. Ha.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
