Simmons Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Is it possible to meet the right person at the wrong time? Can external factors keep two people from getting together? I think in some cases this is possible. I'm going through severe depression and a big part of it is due to medical problems that are disturbing my emotions. Because I'm depressed I tend to shut down and turn socially anorexic if you will. Meaning I have little appetite for social interaction especially a serious romantic relationship. Relationships take work and I don't have the energy to do the work. All I feel like doing is staying in my bedroom all day and sleeping and reading articles on my phone. It wouldn't matter to me if the right person came along tomorrow while I'm in this numbing depressive state. So I do think external factors can hold a person back from entering into a relationship with someone they have feelings for.
ThreeRainbows Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Or maybe unprocessed emotions are causing your medical problems. Something to think about. Teal Swan on You Tube has some good videos on that stuff, if you're into metaphysical. Try to get all your feelings out. Talk to yourself about your feelings. Fix your inner dialogues in your head to only be positive and supportive of you. Work on your self-esteem. Read a book about it. Exercise. Eat healthy. Most importantly, you have to try. Right now you sound like that horse in the mud in that movie. "Arrrrtaxxx" Edited July 20, 2018 by ThreeRainbows
Lotsgoingon Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 There is no single "right person." There are thousands, perhaps millions of people we could possibly have fulfilling and loving relationships with. So while you're retreating from the world, you are missing the opportunity to interact with some of the people who might be great partners. But when you are ready to reengage the world, there will be another crowd of people who could be great partners. So take care of yourself. I hope you are getting treatment for the depression and for the anorexia (whether literal or social). There will be plenty of great people to meet when you're ready to interact with the world.
