> I am going to Europe on a bike tour.
Mind if I ask where in Europe? How would you feel about finding people who would do day parts of your tour with you? (presuming you're going solo, not with a group)
>too much time to think about being sad.Oh boy. I passed one part of a bike trip just chanting the names of the next three towns I was headed through, to drown the noises in my head.
>I am extremely stressed out and got some bad
>news today.Sorry about that - I don't know what else to say.
>I still really wish I had someone to go with me.Well ... maybe a balance would be finding a few different persons to meet up with at certain points on your trip, so you wouldn't be entirely alone. Feel free to mail me at stopyerspam at yahoo dot fr - especially if you'll be in France or Germany for your trip, that's where I have the most contacts. Ah, I just thought of a contact in the UK, a women's cycling group, if you'll be there I can try to look her up again. I don't mean to be jumping in and fixing your frustrations - but if I can be of help, please let me know.
>I miss my ex-boyfriend (from three years ago)I get this one, too. Before I started dating DH, I was best friends with a guy who started out as my lifting buddy. I had met him through a real hound-dog of a mutual acquaintance, so I hadn't expected to get along, but I needed a workout buddy, and eventually we started talking and ended up doing a lot together. Depression eventually got in the way of that in a huge way, he had zero experience with it and I just couldn't handle any more contact. I guess this is not related to your situation - just saying, sometimes I really miss this guy, I hate going to the weights area of the gym alone, I haven't lifted weights seriously since him.
Well, sorry for rambling so much about me again.
Hoping your stress is easing,
M
