You aren't regressing at all; you're simply seeing things more clearly with newfound vision. You're processing, which is part of the process, lol.
If I can make a suggestion, try toning down the heavy-duty sharing with your friends who haven't walked in your shoes. Not every friend needs to be the confidante for everything. Save the insights and mulling and processing for the folks here, or at Al-Anon. Keep your conversation with your friends along the lines of, "Well, I'm doing pretty well, some days better than others, but overall things are getting better. How 'bout this ELECTION craziness, huh?"
It isn't that your friends (even the ones who tell you to "get back out there"), or who bring the conversation back to themselves, don't care--they simply don't understand--thankfully for them, they've never had to. And it can get tiring for friends to be the support system all the time. Just consider--are there times when you monopolize the conversation about what's going on with you? Not accusing, it's just something we sometimes don't realize we're doing.
