^This sounds like depression. Missing work, no desire to do anything...etc. That's ok. It's common. I went through it as well. But recognize it and do what you can to combat it. I know it's hard but fighting that feeling and focusing on work or actually going out and doing things will help. You'll get through it.

Perfect! Keep it up. Not only will it help with the immediate, but just wait 6 months and see how great, and strong, and confident you feel.

Good stuff. Anything social where you can spend time with friends or make new ones?

Careful with this. You're in a whirlwind right now with a whole lot of pain and emotions. Not only do you have a good bit of healing and emotions to process until you can have a healthy relationship, but entangling yourself with other woman at this point will make any chance of a R much more difficult.
