It's natural to be anxious about a big change like that but you can also look at it as a time to get to know yourself better. You might find you handle it well and that will give you some self-confidence too.

I live alone now for several years. At first it was a difficult adjustment and I felt lonely most of the time and was in kind of a state of panic about it. After awhile I got used to it and now would need to have 'alone time' if I were to get in a relationship. I also have a number of serious illnesses and it is always on my mind that I need to take care of myself so I can still live independently. It's a real conscious motivation.

If you can motivate yourself to get out of the house every day that will help a lot. I try to walk at least several times a week and find that the more I do it the better I feel. The hardest part is always to get started.
