Feeling a little off

[French_vanilla]

It’s been a few months since I’ve felt like I’ve had an episode of depression but the last couple days I’ve felt like I’ve been in a slump and I’m not sure how to handle it. I don’t want to slip back into how I was before.

I feel kind of stuck in my life, like I’m doing everything I can to get where I want to be but it never feels like enough. I’m having a hard time figuring out exactly how I’m feeling, but I feel off, and definitely not like myself.

Also, it’s been several months since a major breakup for me and I started seeing someone new, who has so far been amazing. However I’m afraid, I’m scared to get hurt again and to open myself back up to someone like I did before. I don’t want to let my past ruin something that could be great.

This feels like a little bit of a rant, but I was hoping to see if anyone has advice for how to get through this. Thank you.

I know how you feel when you say you’re scared of getting hurt again I fear it too! Do some research of mindfulness and get the headspace app! Read some uplifting positive quotes I can be sure it could make you feel better 💛

Could it be that your fear of getting hurt is making you feel off? If so, would it help to talk with your new partner about your fears?

I think that could be a huge part of it, I’ve pretty much only had the one serious relationship my whole life and now feeling like I could get hurt that way again is coming along with a lot of mixed feelings. I don’t know if it’s too soon to talk about it or not with the new person because it’s not yet ‘official’.
