Thanks again.
I did experience that as an older dating adult, recovery was MUCH harder than when I was in my 20's. Young people are generally very resilient, bounce back quicker, whereas, older people are generally more sincere, invest more of themselves, and take longer to recover. The only thing I can tell you is that it WILL get better, you will feel better, just taking your time. And during that time, try to learn from it. That's the only way to avoid repeating the same mistakes over and over.
