This seems to happen every time. I think I'm coping better, I feel I might just have made a tiny step forward, then out of the blue I fall back suddenly and I feel as bad as I did at the start. I don't know how to manage this. Do I just let the feeling of hopelessness and fear wash over me and wait to feel a bit more in control, or do I fight it and force myself to go out and pretend I'm ok?
I don't see many people, I guess I spend 90% of the time on my own. I have friends but they're not local and they all have busy lives. Likewise my family. Any advice would be very welcome, what do others do when it all feels too much? By the way, I'm 8 months into this lonely life.
