World Closing In

I retired last year, and in that time I lost a woman i had a relationship with for over 7 years. She left as I was constantly worrying, obsessing over a high stress job, and not available. Since then, I spend most days totally alone. Today was a great day, I actually talked to a bank manager for maybe 5 minutes, and received a pity call from a friend for about 10 minutes. When I found out he was not interested in doing anything I simply I had to eat my dinner which was getting cold and thanked him for the call. Having social anxiety and no friends in the area I moved to Indianapolis, IN is making hard. I do have a daughter I live with but not having anyone to go out with talk about things or just maybe enjoy a coffee out at dunkin donuts is hard.

I have recently been trying to get off Klonopin as it has really effected me, but not being on it I'm not sure how I am coming across to people.

Hi. There are a couple groups I highly recommend, Codependents Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery. They are both free and wonderful programs. You can work on yourself and meet people.

Thanks, I am going to check out the CoDependents Anonymous group. Never heard of them.

That’s great! I go to my meeting tomorrow. I hope you find one you can go to as well.
