Hi Sad in Tx. Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit down. Moving and "starting over" is always a bit stressful and even more so after a divorce and then a breakup. Sometimes after we experience one event it's good to just stay with ourselves and learn to love who we are again before trying to share it with someone else. I've seen it before many times and usually the "rebound" relationships end because of issues on both parties that were unrelated and hadn't had a chance to heal yet rearing their ugly heads.

Byzantine made a good suggestion at volunteering, you could also see if there was some organization that engaged in things you like to do or even try to get to know your colleagues better maybe?

The important thing is to take time to heal yourself. Maybe it would be a good time to get a furry companion (I'm partial to cats but dogs work too) and then you'd at least have one little being who gives you love and companionship when no other human is around. Just don't focus on them so much you start keeping away from bipeds.

I hope you have a nice week and feel a little better.

Chris
