Today was the hardest to deal with, and yet when I released everything emotionally, I found that waking up I was in a better mood. I was mentally feeling so much better and no longer spiraling. I made a revelation on why I have been absolutely devastated and hating this change. My BF leaves to return home, leaving me in the house alone. Paya and of course help from friends talking… made me realize that Im not having issues with him leaving, its the fact that I will be utterly alone for the first time in my life. I’ve never lived alone. I’ve always had roommates, college, renting the basement of a friend’s house, living with mother or sister, and then with partners. I have never lived on my own. Now I will be alone in a two story with attic. I have family a mile down the road, but being actually alone is the terrifying part. Once I acknowledged that… I was able to stabilize mentally and emotionally and feel regulated once more. I feel like once I can get the final cry out of missing my BF and dropping him off, I’ll be ok.
Terror of the unknown, that is the greatest fear at times.
