Lonely and anxious

I will manage. It’s a little harder lately as things are changing quite a bit in my life.
The divorce, losing a bit of support, trying to make new friends, packing for my move, tackling clutter, training for new job, And sending my youngest to college this weekend. I will be ok.

I need to use my better coping skills instead of silly distractions like meeting w people And making friends. But I just wished I had something to look forward to so I arranged a birthday dinner for myself with new people. However it’s causing some anxiety. Distracting me from my more serious issues.

Best of luck to you in your new life. Take things a day at a time. Find something every day to do for yourself, whether it be an ice cream cone or just talking to an old friend to see what they are up to. You can do this. You WILL do this. And it may take some time, but you will be OK.
