A month is a pretty short time if you were serious. Spend some time with the friends you ignored and neglected. You'll eventually feel normal being single. That's when you'll be in the best frame of mind to start dating again without the pressure of just trying to close a hole.

Almost a month. I’m a pretty anxious person and I am scared to tread new waters so I’m not ready to get back out in the field

I would say don’t pressure yourself to “get back out there.” Take time to be happy with you again. You’ll know when you’re ready to date again

like

Distract yourself. Dive into your passions and focus on yourself. Spend time with friends

If you’re not ready, why push? Enjoy being by yourself and get back in the game when you feel like it

Focus on health (eg gym), hobbies (eg hiking), friends and family. Good luck OP

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
