Confused about all this

[Robz99]

Hi all. I want to write down my experiences as I haven't ever written them down before, and I guess, see if you guys can help.

After splitting up from my girlfriend last year, I looked back and realised I would never go anywhere without her. I would always go out for drinks and meet friends with her. Now we have split up, I find it hard to socialise with people on my own.
Last weekend my friend, who I had not seen for a year, but have known for 10 years came up to see me. I found it really hard to interact with him and the group and I have no idea why. As hard as I try, I end up fading into the background during the evening. My worst fear is 1 on 1 conversations with new people in the group and again just ended up staring into space feeling really awkward and quiet. I tend not to socialise now as it is so much easier and have lost contact with a lot of friends which I miss so much, but cannot explain why I want to avoid it even more.
I also find that my energy levels are really low. I am trying to sell my house, but I cannot get any motivation to clean up and put it on the market.

I am so confused why this is happening and would love someones opinion on this as I don't like to talk about it.

Thank you so much.

Depression can wreck a good person quickly. I would suggest to schedule a visit to a Dr. and disclose these feelings like you have here. It's a very short presentation and also can be a step in the right direction before it gets worse. Some new medications and also a therapist would be of great significance to you friend.

Get yourself back on track now before to much time passes.

Good luck and best wishes.
