Hey, you all everybody. I’m sorry I went MIA for a while there. A couple of you have messaged me to make sure I’m all right.
I’m doing better now. After losing my mom, I had no energy, no motivation; I literally had trouble getting out of bed in the morning. So I went to the doctor, and got some medication.
I’m still sad about my mom, but at least it’s no longer a major effort just to do the minimum things I’m supposed to do.
Mr. Kat has been a rock through this time. I’m not sure exactly what he has in mind for us, to be honest. In my opinion, there isn’t an “us” - there is still no sexual vibe there, and I don’t feel like he treats me like a girlfriend or partner. Maybe we really are evolving into good friends, I don’t know.
In the dark couple of weeks after Mom died, I really felt like there were no more good things left in my future. I even considered trying to get back with Mr. Kat, and just accepting whatever lukewarm behavior he might be willing to give me. (That was before I got my meds.)
At least, I was wise enough even then to suspect that was my grief and depression talking, so I never mentioned it to Mr. Kat. In fact, even at that low point, I knew that I probably shouldn’t make any major decisions for a while.
So, now, I am doing better. I’m going to work, getting stuff done in my apartment, and even going back to some activities. I went to a writers’ workshop, and ironically, met a man who asked me out! Yes, a man asked me out without us having to meet by online dating.
We just had our first date, and I like him. I’m scared to go too fast. Tonight I did explain to him that my mom just died about a month ago, and I’m not in a place to move too fast or make big decisions. That did not seem to bother him, and we got along well on the date. Time will tell, I guess.

@smartkat, it is good to hear from you again. You are being wise to take things slow at this time. Let your emotions settle down, allow yourself to find the new normal. If he is interested then he will wait.
I am glad you are back.

So glad to see you back here. Sometimes we need a little time away, to take care of ourselves and heal. Best to you, and I hope more good things are headed your way.

It’s pretty amazing what the right meds will do for you. I tried many that didn’t work then I found the right combination (3 different ones actually). Good luck with your new “friend”.

It’s good to know you are doing better, Kat, and that you met someone too. Grief takes its own time, and you are wise to take it slowly. I wish you happier times. Hugs and love

Oh, SK... What can I say - the loss of someone so close to you will really take the wind out of your sails. But, as your name implies, you are smart and will see yourself through this and you are a cat and will land on your feet. Take care of yourself.

Oh, I never check this thread! I'm really sorry to hear about your mom and glad you're feeling more you though sometimes that means feeling more sad when processing grief.
