That does sound hard, but sometimes accepting where you are is what allows you to move on from there. So you know you need to work on building trust in yourself, time to get started. I was listening to a really interesting podcast with Rick Hanson on something like this this morning (Jordan Harbinger podcast I think it was), all about building resilience and being able to rely on yourself even if you can't rely on others. It was one of those episodes which will go into my regular listens I think, it just seemed so useful and practical.
And much empathy for the longing for an intimate partner too, we'll get there eventually x
