Putting my life back together

[NewLeaf]

Thanks Cadet, I'm working hard to stay positive and reconnect with friends and try some new acitivities.

One thing I've noticed though is the more excited or positive I am the more sad she seems. In moments like that she's asked me a couple of times how I'm doing. I know she means in the bigger sense but I've just said something like "I'm doing well, I really enjoyed martial arts class today". I'm not sure if I should ask her how she's doing, because I'm worried about where the conversation will go. If she asks first though should I go there?
