I probably need to exercise more and get real busy.

Sweet Beautiful Butterfly...
I sense that H stepped up abit to allow you to be secure in his proposal he has done some thinking IMO, however little that might have been. H acknowledging that fact of causing pain I can understand your moment of awe.
You are only stuck if you allow yourself to be that, you have come a long way on your path of self awareness don't look back now.
Don't be afraid of the unkwown, it can't be as bad as the past...it can only be a gift when you have the control of it...
Withdrawing can be a healthy manuver to regroup your thoughts the key is to not stay in there to long and over analyze...
You proved to yourself that you can act on your own accord with helping move the tree noone asked you to help, you chose to help...
Exercise, sleep, staying busy, are all important compnents to self improvement and healthy thoughts YES do more...
Keep expanding those wings and testing how they work, the more you use them the 'stronger' you get...
