Me 10 months on. Dark and detaching still.

Well done on your PMA and new friends. I am really struggling with the making new friends. I suppose a lot of it has to do with how long I may have here, 17 weeks left. Also because it is such a small place, there really isn't a huge amount to do. When invited, I make sure I accept.
That's why I am so looking forward to going back to the city. I have a few friends from my motorbike club that will keep me PMA. There will be events on nearly each weekend to keep me GALing.
I am trying to do my best with what I have here. Gym nearly every day, running nearly every day, guitar playing (should do longer) every day.
What I don't have is the support of face to face with someone. That good friend we all need. Not so I can talk and talk, but someone who is there to keep you PMA.
What I do have is someone who is like a nagging wife, my flatmate. Firstly I have no choice having him here. Since it is Education housing I have to accept it. Two weeks ago a second flatmate joined in. So I am now living with another two blokes in a house I used to live with the W and son.
I am on the downhill run on the rollercoaster and need to get off, but struggling at the moment. Struggling to get good sleep in the last 3 days. I think the finality (mindreading, I know) of it all is starting to hit. Trying my best to maintain the PMA, but again it is hard where I am.
