[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 736738, member: 18958"] OK. I will not try to talk you into AA but what about al anon or coda. Or any other group You do not have to become intimate with anybody. A friendship. Friendships. Mutual support. What about a singles group thru a church? Not to meet a man but to be with people, to have and give support and caring. I joined a group. AAUW. American association of university women. Most are retired teachers. They meet in small groups. For lunch. The theater. Hiking. Bridge. They make close and supportive friendships. They text each other to go to the movies. There are ways people reach out. I think you may have survivors guilt. It is as if you cannot forgive yourself for being the one who survived untouched. You seem to allow yourself only work and shopping. I identify with you. But we can change. It is not your fault. You CAN learn to forgive yourself. You don't deserve to suffer. I am reading a memoir by a 90 year old Holocaust survivor who is a psychologist. The choice by Edith Eger. She learned to forgive herself. We can too. [/QUOTE]
