Now that would be good. Sometimes I have gone out with friends when I didn’t feel like it – and was glad I did. Sometimes I went out with them and wish I hadn’t. I think all you can do is what feels right for you at the time.
We all have low mood some of the time – it is natural and it will pass. We can’t always be on a high … Having said that, it is useful to look at yourself when you are having the low mood – so sort of think “oh Kolberg is pretty low this morning, I wonder what that is about?” and try and work out what is going on for you. Often I find out that what I am mistaking for feeling low – is just being in a different, quieter space and eventually that lifts and I find I need to be around people again.
Great that you are looking forwards to being with family. Great that you are having no gambling thoughts. You are doing really well. Keep strong!
