Oof, that's rough. I totally get it, I was in the same boat a few years back. And it's true that the whole fandom experience, regardless of whether that particular fandom was a shared one between us, felt tainted by all the pain.

I'm not sure if you're looking for advice, but what helped me was just...taking time off, basically. I didn't involve myself in anything fandom-based for a while, played a lot of games that weren't heavy on story or characterization, did a lot of puzzles and sudoku and other brain-challenging sort of things, practiced my baking and cooking--stuff that kept me busy but didn't let me think a whole lot. I treated it a lot like a sprained ankle, really; I just kept all my weight off it until I could start coming back to it bit by bit. It took some time, but now I'm happily re-involved in new fandoms.

If you're not looking for advice, then you have my sympathy and well-wishes. I hope it gets better for you soon. ♥

ayrt

Thank you for sharing what helped you. I may try that. I had originally wanted to do Yuletide this year, but I may just have to take the next few months off.
