I have too many posts to even try to hope to catch on. At @LadyShadow I hope you can put you breakup behind you. As I recall, breakups have been hard for you such as when you separated from you ex before this last BF as well. Hard to accept, but it may be time to move on and quit waiting on pins and needles from an email or text from you ex every day. You have to remember, he ditched you at the worst of your bipolar, and if you love someone, I really think you would have stuck by them, given them enough time to get sorted at a psychiatric facility and been more understanding, at least tried to stand by half a year at a minimum. I think you undervalue your self-worth and maybe think you don't deserve more. Stay free from dating, give yourself a good 6-9 months free of it all and then start up. Now, I did meet my H online dating, it happens, so did my college roommate, she has to be married 10 yr. now but there ARE other places to meet people once you are outside of school and college (and definitely do NOT go to the bars, that's a Pandora's box right there.)

It sounds like you enjoy taking time to take care of yourself, and I think that is absolutely what you should do here. Exercise, maybe walking as the weather's been warm in the South, I have a pilates video I can recommend and all you need is a mat (Move with Nicole, free on youtube but as long as I've done it, I'm still on her beginner levels videos!). If your family is nearby, spend time with them, church, AA, if you have Espsom salts, soaking in a bath of that is a treat. Music, maybe change up a playlist, watch something if you have streaming services. Spend some time for yourself and treasure it.
