Back Online

[Reds]

I have been away for about 3months, relocating was not easy. I am still struggling and some days I wish I could go back, but I have signed a binding contract with my current employer.

I am still in therapy, having phone sessions with my therapist every week excluding this week because I was just too upset about other things.

My relationship with my partner is not so good because of the distance.

I have not made any friends and I think this is the main reason this place is too lonely.

Just thought I should give an update about my relication. How is everyone else doing?

Welcome back Reds - I was wondering where you had gone the other day . Glad you have managed to relocate but that must have been/is really tough . Are you going to stick to phone therapy - does it work ok for you ?

 

[Reds]

It made me smile that you thought of me :). Yes, I will stick to phone session. I am not comfortable changing a therapist. It takes me a long time to trust someone. She is encouraging me to get a therapist in my area but I am not ready

Yes I remember relating to the attachment you had to your T . I guess the phone sessions are a stepping stone and probably a lifeline while you settle .maybe you could just look and see what therapists are around your area while still doing your phone sessions - you never know what you might find - really feel for you though I know it must be really difficult

Glad you're back! (I was wondering how you're doing too.)

I've moved a lot. I seems like the first month or so in a new place is always hard. In your case, having to switch to talking to your therapist on the phone and all, I can see where it would be extra hard and take more time to adjust and get comfortable. How's the job going?

I am so glad you are back on the forum.

I empathize with the new move. Three years ago I had to move and it was very hard. I had no friends for three years because I was taking care of my husband with dementia really bad. He died almost nine months ago and I am just now meeting people.

Things are getting better for me and I trust they will get better with you too. I have had to take breaks from the forum and missed everyone so very much because they were my social lifeline.
