I'm probably just writing this to the wind, or just need to put it out to the universe, I guess. I'm a gay dude in my 40s, I suffer from grief related depression due to the loss of my immediate family over the past decade. The only way I've allowed myself to deal with these things is to pull away and isolate. Granted, lockdown gave me an easy excuse to do this with no reprocussions.
But I'm smart, have varied intrests and have lots of love to give a partner or a friend, but getting around the grief and fear is so hard at times...well, all the time.
I.m just wondering if there is anyone else out there is facing these issues, or just wants to be there for each other. Take care.
realize that i was suffering from PTSD and EMDR therapy worked out most of my problems. and the need to isolate. so if you want to discuss it further i would be glad to share some of my experiences and support.
