Wonderful, decision made:

-- wait until D. comes (if he comes but it looks like he will) and see where that goes

-- establish, on the advice of the p-doc, a working relationship with an intern therapist at a low-cost clinic, so I have someone, beyond this board, to bounce ideas off

-- and then set sail in online dating, knowing that I would be supported by you guys and by the therapist

I sure hope the intern therapist is good - the clinic is within a 15 minute walk, unbeatable it in terms of convenience
