I've been in a rut for the past two years or so. I am currently halfway through my graduate program, but I haven't been feeling as motivated as I would like to. Don't get me wrong, I was excited to start graduate school, but the timing of life events have made this an experience quite difficult to succeed in.
I was dumped one week prior to starting my grad program after being in the relationship for six years because I was too quiet and introverted. I have been amicable with my ex since then, who has been suffering from depression for a while. I still have feelings towards him, but he doesn't. I also still harbor resentment after he cheated on me during the relationship. I tried my best to help restore the relationship following the incident, but with no avail.
I've been feeling quite lonely for last year or so, trying to foster friends and relationships that I lost during the last seven years. I want deep connections with people, but it has been quite difficult.
Most days than not I feel like I'm dragging my feet to get my life together and try to be more financially and emotionally independent. I know I need to reconnect with who I am since most of my identity was lost during those six years in my past relationship. However, it's been quite difficult for me.
Any advice in helping me get out of a rut?
