Im scared of going back there.

[Cardium]

So after a pretty shit last year, I was able to come back home to spend time with my family last October. It was great here, and I gained a lot of control over my anxiety over the past 3 months. Im in a good place now both physcially and mentally. But I'm going back in a few days and there is this nagging thought...what if I go back to the same routine? I'll be living alone...what if I go back to that dark place I had been in the whole last year? Its been bothering me, and I'm trying to stay positive and continue the discipline...but I could really use some motivation.

Hey there Cardiam,

Yah eh!! Not knowing what to do when u go back to old routine, hew! That tough. Is there a way u can go to somewhe new? Or is it possible to get urself things to keep u busy to replace the things u were doing in the past? I know when u want to get rid of something one has to find a replacement. Have u looked into hobbies, sport or ways to help the society? Sorry for many questions I just want to make sure u broaden ur options... What can be a good replacement?

Motivation is not a buzz word for me either. What has worked positively for you in the last 3 months that is new? With some planning you might be able to use this again. Nothing can replace the special relationship with your family. Could you try to schedule online family catch ups weekly with permission to call as needed? Of course the forum members are always here too
