Hi there, the past few days I have been having times of uncontrolable tears. Its like my entire body fills with this tense anxiety and all I can do is cry. I have just moved to a new city, and in a transition point in my life, struggling with what I want to do. As well, am struggling with dating. The last few guys I have been with over the past few years messed around with my mind a bit. And just when I thought I was clear and in a good space to accept a date offer this week, he ends up disappearing. 

I have struggled with depression and anxiety in the past. Im just tired. And lonely. I wish I had a someone (aside from a friend/family member) to speak with. Im tired of being on my own. 

Im not sure why I am posting on here, I dont really have a question. Just thought it would be good to put my thoughts down somewhere.

anyways, thank you for reading!

    You are not alone.

    This community is here to help.It is always good to share your feelings and find out there are others who have or are feeling the same as you

    We have all had some very trying times and felt completely overwhelmed.

    It sounds as though you may have depression----mind you I am not a Doctor!

    You should check in with a medical professional who can help you through a questionaire to determine if you do suffer from depression and help you to deal with the illness.

    Best wishes,hope you feel better soon !

    Virtual hugs............

    Hi mel - we are always here to talk to. You have had some major changes in life. A new home, new city, new people. Rather daunting, especially when you are on your own. Why not look on the change as an adventure? No-one knows you, you are a blank canvas where they are concerned. You can be whatever you want to be, free on a new ocean teeming with life. What do you love to do? Is there a group available where you can do it with others? It's the best way to meet and make new friends. Meanwhile, forget the date. Plenty more fish around you. They will find you, don't worry about that.

      Thank you very much as well. I have travelled around loads on my own.cand I moved here to a new city for a New adventure. Im just struggling more then I have in the past. And having my first dating experince here turn sour was really the trigger (last straw) for my mind to handle.

    I agree with the two people who replied before me.

    Also, give it a bit time to settle in, get familiar with your new home, city etc. - sometimes getting used to changes & finding your place takes a bit more time & can be overwhelming at the beginning.

    You have friends & family to talk to - hey, that is great...& for someone else to talk to I think you came to the right place for the time being.

    Just don't put too much pressure on yourself - I am sure you will be fine & if not, you can always move somewhere else again. ;D 

    You said you travelled on your own a lot, so I am sure you have no problems going places & doing things by yourself - this way you will meet people & make friends too, so that is a great basis you have there. smile

    As for the date that disappear - well, he missed out on a great date, so his loss not yours. wink Don't take it too hard - I am sure you will meet someone sooner or later, just focus on yourself & do what you enjoy in the meantime. I am sure you will be fine - you just moved there, I am sure in a few weeks or so things will look a lot better. smile
