One more thing I will add about GAL. I struggled SOOOOO hard with getting out of the house. It seemd that everywhere I went, everything I did, I saw nothing but happy families and couples everywhere. It was like a slap in the face to me. I felt like a failure living in an world for happy people.
The very first night out with my single buddy left me feeling very down. I didn't, and I still don't, want to be single. Being out among other single people really hit home about my wish to be a happily married man with a family. HOWEVER, every time I have been out since it gets a little easier. I actually find myself now reaching out to "see what's up for the weekend". I am at the point where I look forward to socializing.
Little GTO, you just have to force yourself to go through the motions. It is going to feel awkward, you aren't going to enjoy yourself (at first) and you will undoubtedly want to rush home as soon as possible. But mark my words, you will get back in the swing of things. The faster you jump in, the faster that will happen :-)
