I know you said you want to move past that particular discussion, but it reminded me of something said in a support group I belonged to a few years ago. Some of the members were lamenting some past choices they had made in regards to sex. One of the moderators said, "when nothing else in life feels good, sex still feels good." That's true, and more so for some people than others, especially when part of that is seeking comfort. It is what it is.

@
ArmorPlate108 thank you, dear.
Your hugs and kind words mean more to me than you know... it really helps to hear you say these things right now. I was beginning to feel truly awful.
And I agree - sometimes, when life feels so awful, we seek out anything that will make us feel better, including sex. And I think that's where I was coming from, especially on the heels of a most terrible and failed interview that resulted in a rejection letter 20 mins after the interview ended. I have rarely felt so rejected in my life, as I did after this one particular interview. OUCH.
I am glad my taking a course is inspiring to you.
It's time for me to strengthen the areas where I am weak, and to show employers that after being let go, I decided to shore up my skill set where I had failed in my last job.
