I agree. Acceptance of what you are going through is very important.

One thing I would like to say, however, is that I would like to see you have another focus besides withdrawal. When we met up in Paris I noticed that all you wanted to talk about was withdrawal. I would have liked to have expanded and talked about other things. I know it's hard when you are retired and live alone but I think it would be good if you had something else. Something to take your mind off things. It has also occurred to me that a feature of GAD (ok, so now it's two things ) is to overanalyse and try to get to the bottom of things. Sometimes we don't need to. Sometimes we just need to let go and I think your decision to accept your situation is a step in that direction.

Good luck!!
