Looking for some help/ tips if possible.
For the last 8 years, major health issues meant I withdrew from society, stopped contacting anyone and just focused on getting through the day rather than enjoying it.
I no longer work (health reasons) and miss the interaction but I am hopeful I can return part time at some point. I've moved abroad (temporarily) and have had to start from scratch making friends but it is so hard. I don't want to be constantly messaging/ hanging out but regular meet ups and a kindred spirit would be great.
I feel like I've jumped ahead in age, missed out on loads and now don't know who I am or what I'm doing. My youngest child has recently stopped breastfeeding so my role as a mum has changed too (although he does still need me).
I need to reframe my mind and get positive. I feel a bit flat but do have times when I enjoy myself. I don't want AD'S again as they just create an even constant and I want some more highs!
I find myself overly focused on age (probably because I've missed out on so much) and have this niggle in my head that I'm going to be told I'm dying. It doesn't help that most of the mums I meet here are significantly younger. I don't have a problem talking to them but in the back of my mind, I worry they see me as old and dull.
Can anyone help with me finding some direction to happiness please?
