I feel you, Art. Since my breakdown 2 years ago, it only have I completely refrained from dating, but I can't even think of myself as attractive anymore. Tonight I actually started to feel attractive when I was getting ready for a concert, but then I got there and remembered that I have gained 70lbs and am overweight now, that I have scars over my body, and I'm now in my late 30s. I don't feel like the attractive, effervescent, free spirited woman I used to be. I just feel like a depressed old maid. I'm not like you, I am all for the one night stand, but I used to be able to take home any guy I wanted, not because of my looks but because of my confidence....and now...I can't even look at myself in a mirror.
So...I'm with you...low and depressed....I'd say it's time for some chocolate but that wouldn't help solve my problems at all.
