GIMA & Thinker, Trying to put in words the benefits of going thru your "desert" experience. Your core hurt/wound, longing for connection and loneliness are all the same thing in a way. We are looking for another person to heal us, connect with us and make us feel alive. It's scary to be alone, especially in a emotional and spiritual way. What you are doing though is a kind of fasting. The things you think you need to live you can live without.
After being in the military and deploying, does food seem as big of a deal - it's energy. Someone serves me a meal they prepared, it's appreciated by me. Sleep is another thing, you learn to sleep wherever and whenever you can. Don't need a bed, the lights out, or quiet.
You have all you need, you are stronger than you think, and your are able to heal yourself. Read up on "the dark night of the soul." You both are on this journey for a reason.
Cheers
