HI Want to Be Healthy,
Didn't you mention a man you had been dating? I think I remember you spending time with someone. Maybe I am confusing people. If it was you, how did that go?
I used my lonely time to work on myself and try things I had not tried before. It pushed my comfort zone and helped me chill out on investing so much in a relationship. Meaning, when I was dating again, it wasn't that important so I wasn't desperate or seeking another person for make me feel good.
Hugs
