Cooking for one has become interesting, as I'm freeze-packing meals for later (freezer is getting full) and while I've always been pretty tidy in general, my condo is SPOTLESS since I get up at 3am thinking I've forgotten to do something (which I haven't) so I'm up cleaning the bathrooms or the floors AGAIN.

I am trying hard to focus when I find myself in those modes of not knowing what to do and not having a human companion to talk to - for me it's go to the onsite fitness center and ride the bikes or punch the bag (GREAT release) or take my dog to the Bark Park. The Bark Park is nice b/c at least once I'm there, there are LOTS of humans to speak to. My goal is to not isolate, since that is my natural response when I'm hurting - withdraw and suffer alone. It doesn't work for me, even if it is easiest.

Anyway... like I said, talk to us!
