hello welcome to the adc board, I’m really sorry what your going through, yes it’s normal to want to protect yourself from fear of loss and to try and “play it safe” - it’s a way people sometimes have if hopkng not to feel too much. I don’t know how helpful that is but I’m validating it’s a natural defensive protection mode, I think journaling writing your feelings, expressing your feelings in a safe way may help you explore on a deeper level beginning the process of understanding how your fear of loss affects you by addressing it through creative expression, or talking with a trusted friend clergy counselor and this is also a safe place here |
