A pet. If you’re not up for living with one, find a shelter that accepts volunteers. They need people to walk/cuddle/play with the dogs and cats.

Cuddling with a body pillow when falling asleep gave me more than zero warmth when I was craving it. Same with really clasping some part of bedding as if I’m holding hands with it. I know it’s fake, but I still feel my body/mind reacting positively, so, whatever, I’ll take what I can get.

In the same fake cheativities category: Sometimes when traffic stresses me out I take a fake puff of a cig. I stopped years ago, but it gives me something. Fun stuff

Your community might have a support group for recent divorcees. It would be a good way to connect with sympathetic people without the pressures of a 1 on 1 relationship

When I was going through my divorce I watched a lot of self help videos on YouTube. There’s good advice everywhere but the hardest part was having the gumption to get up and actually do something. I hope you find the support you need. I partied a lot 😅

Same boat buddy. Same boat.

The only way out is through. Do whatever you feel like doing. Just pay attention to the information you’re getting from your emotions, and make good choices.

Don’t expect yourself to be perfect. Nobody is. Despite that fact, we all still have the right to pursue happiness.
