"will be better because you've been working on yourself for a few months? I truly believe people can change when they really admit to themselves where their fault lies and work on those things consistently. I've changed but it's taken me a lot longer than 5 months."
It can be sooo hard to detach and work on yourself. I'm actually newer to this than you. I never want to go back to that place I was for years, it really hurt my W and me. My depression took a toll. The hardest thing for me to do was to let her go and face down my issues. I too struggle with patience or lack there of. You will hear "it took a long time to get to this point in your M - it will take a long time to get past this too".
Take a deep breath, its gonna be ok. Let her see an attractive, confident, and stable guy. She will notice...
