Sometimes it is hard to see that you are stuck in an old pattern or rut. If you feel out of touch with your feelings, directionless or depressed, this can be a sign that you are in a rut.
If you find friends and family are not as sympathetic or patient as they once were, or if they even seem to be avoiding you - or at least not wanting to discuss your problem - then you are in a rut.
At this point, you may want to consider therapy. A supportive, professional presence can help you to move through problems and dilemmas much quicker than you can move through them alone.
Take Care,
