Looking through some old messages and remembering the people who have moved on, or i have lost contact with......
It made me sad

I mean the people who moved on for good reasons, I am glad for them....but i am still sad and miss them (cos i am selfish like that I guess )

I need to stop thinking like this, need to shut my mind off from this, need to get a grip. I dunno. Maybe tonight i need to be sad.

You can have more than one emotion about things/people without that being contradictory. You recognise that the people in your life had to leave for whatever reason, and that this was probably best for them - that proves that you're not selfish. Being sad that they're not in your life any more only shows that they meant something to you, and that's a good thing, even if it's painful - it's only human to miss them.

Are there any people that you could perhaps try to reconnect with? Maybe send them a message on facebook/by text and try to catch up at some point? I've done this with a couple of old school friends and while it doesn't always mean that the friendship completely reignites, it can be good to chat and find out how their lives are going.

I understand. If you've been in contact with someone for a long while and then your ways part, this is sad, even if they move on for good reasons. I don't have any advice to add but just wanted ot say I can relate.

Thing is, when people move on from here, they seem to try and make a total break, effectivelly removing ryl from their lives, including facebook ect. i know why this has hit me now, cos someone left my therapy group, unexpectedly, and we had been quite close, but our group allows no contact outside the group, so i have no way of knowing if she is even ok, and of course this made me ponder on other people who have 'left' from various parts of my life..
