New Surroundings
Im having a hard time these days. Its not about drinking. I miss my friends. I miss the familiar faces that i saw everyday. I feel lost in my new surroundings and I'm having a hard time acclimating. Ive been avoiding phone conversations with my friends ( family) because my eyes well up with tears and I feel like sobbing.
I should be happy. Ive worked my A## off to get here. My husband and I are in the process of finding a home to purchase. Its a huge deal for us...for me. I feel blessed that this dream is now our reality. Im just upset that i cant share it with my loved ones face to face. Im upset that i cant go and have coffee with my girlfriends....... If this is stupid please dont tell me. Im not trying to feel sorry for myself. Its been a build up.
Im a routine type of person. I do the same thing day in and day out and this keeps me sane. I enjoy my routine. Finding my new routine is hard and uncomfortable. Im doing it though. I get out on my runs....thats all that I have for now.
I moved here 3 months ago. Its all so new and awkward.
So, here i am letting it all out. Its how i have been feeling. Thanks for reading.

Dear Mizzuno,
I am sorry that you are feeling down like this. It's really hard to give advice as I don't know you, but I can say that I identify with your feelings of isolation and being out of your comfort zone/routine
Have you thought of speaking to your doctor as you may have a slight depression?
Hang in there and keep those feet going :> Things always get better especially when we want them to...

Thank you for your kind words Vall. Yes, i guess it is a depression. I know I will come out of it. If it persists I will seek out help. For now, I am just feeling my way through. I think that allowing myself to grieve will help in the long run.

Yes, we have to! It's hard. I am not attractive. I have social anxiety. I really suck at meeting people, and this town makes it hard too. I am a progressive liberal in a tiny hick conservative town in the deep south. Damn it's hard.

I bet you have lovely weather every day SFMS though don't you :> I would love to be somewhere warm and sunny all the time.
Don't laugh (I bet you will) but at one point in my life when I was really down and lonely I even gave names to the flies in my room :>> How sad is that!
