Hey CO, it's great to hear from you!!! I have been following your sitch along and you are doing great. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thank you so much for posting that article about detachment. It helps to wrap my mind around what it actually entails. If only there was a step by step plan of action I would be good to go!

The thing that is holding me back from GALing is the fact that I am absolutely terrified that if I am not around it is going to be even easier for my W to get over me. I miss her and when she gets home from work I want to see her, but I know that this is backfiring on me. The fact of the matter is that she is already over me and has moved on with someone else. Mentally I understand that GALing is for me, but when you are extremely depressed just the thought of having fun and putting on a smile is exhausting.

Thanks again CO!!!

Hey Rick, you are right I really need to accept the fact that I am single now. I wish that I had the urge to date someone it would make this so much easier. Unfortunately, I feel like I never want to be with anyone again (hopefully this passes with time). Lucky for me my W is extremely thoughtful and I'm sure would have no problem setting me up on a date so that I would be out of her hair smirk

I am going to get on the meetup website again today and find at least 1 activity and actually attend it. I have signed up for a couple, but couldn't force myself to go. It's time to start pushing myself out of this freak'n box.
