Hi, Don't know if there's anybody out there who maybe has gone through what I've gone through and might have some wisdom to share. I'll give you the back story. I'm mid 50s divorced 20 years with a 26-year-old son. I spent 20 years going to clubs and meeting guys and doing online dating and all I can say is there was tons of guys looking for casual relationships. Even long-term casual, but no one wanted a commitment. During the past 3 years, my life has undergone a 360. I found out that both of my parents are narcissistic which I didn't realize before and I cut off contact with my entire family five years ago. It was amazing but my 20-year depression has completely vanished since cutting off contact with my family. I won't get into the whole story but my family is very dysfunctional with a jealous mother etc etc.
Since October 23 I've had some bad luck including developing long covid, having a repairman rip me off for $350 and I still have to take him to court, having an osteopath start massaging in between my buttocks and having to report her to her college, and having someone in my underground parking garage start removing the caps from my tire air valves. Anyways, I'm really stressed out with all of this and I also have fatigue that I'm trying to work through because of the long covid. I told my boss a few days ago about my medical condition because she didn't know.
I also haven't gone on a date since 2019 and broke up with my last boyfriend in 2018.I have finally got rid of my depression. It was so severe for 20 years and now it's gone and I am more than grateful and thank God every day. I know if I start dating these clowns again on online dating it's really going to depress me which will affect me at work and I can't afford to have anything mess up my job because I work with people every day providing job search counseling and it's very important that I have a good energy every day.
Does anybody have any insight into all of this recent stress? And also would you recommend that I just stay single and enjoy my life instead of having somebody come into my life and ghost me and mess me around?
I also lost contact with two girlfriends in December 2019 and right now I have no friend to talk to. I'm going to join a meetup group when I get rid of this long Covid and see if I can meet a friend.
Thanks, Paula
