General dating advice

Hi there thanks for your post - sorry to read about your past relationships.

Are you getting any support around this in terms of mental health and wellbeing?

Sometimes talking about how we feel with another person such as a counsellor can help or sometimes with a trusted person - this can help reduce feelings of isolation or being alone. Over google-ing to find answers, I find for myself, often leads to more anxiety and uncertainty. Sometimes I keep a journal to write down my thoughts to reflect on weekly.

Taking your time, communicating with another and building that trust up slowly is one healthy way forwards.


Often we can allow past trauma of a relationship to affect our new relationships. Taking our time and communicating with one another can help.
