Thank you so much for your replies. It is so nice to come here and find friends
I still feel very confused about everything. I don't seem to be able to identify how I am feeling and that makes it very difficult to process. I don't know whether some of my reactions are fight or flight responses or based in reality.
I am having a lovely time in London though, last night I saw the Gershwin musical Crazy for You at the Open Air theatre and I have lots of family stuff coming up. But it still just feels empty, like I'm not really here. That probably sounds really weird. I don't know how else to describe it.
My running is going really well. I am going 3 times a week for longer and longer runs. I'm also doing some core exercises. Still feeling fat and gross though! Thanks Michelle for your tips - I took them on board and it helped me get started.
