I made another post with more details if you want more context. Basically I (31f) haven’t talked to anyone in 6-7 years. I slowly stopped due to an abusive relationship and some traumatic events causing a deep depression. I always meant to message them back (all of my friends live far away) but I never had the courage. Now it feels too late for any forgiveness or another chance, but my old therapist I don’t see anymore urged me to talk to them. What do I even say? How do you even reach out after something like this? I want to apologize for everything and be friends again. I want to do this the right way without it coming off as too guilt trippy when I explain.
Tldr; stopped talking to everyone years ago due to traumatic events. Want to reach out but don’t know how. What do I say to them?
