Being single. I was in a very long relationship that ended a few months ago - one of the not so good things about it was that we CONSTANTLY spent time together. But now it’s really hard on me because I live alone and I usually will go to work early or stay late to avoid being alone at home. Now I’m stuck at home by myself and I’m not really used to that yet. I’ve run out of home projects to do and I am just really struggling with boredom and loneliness.

I am familiar with your position. I know it can be REALLY hard. At the time during my transition, I was going to the gym religiously and going to meet ups to push me out if my comfort zone, and even allowed myself to stay long hours at school to help me feel like i was being productive. I'm sorry we are in a position to where all this is limited :(.

Something that really helped me at that time was learning about myself more. I would spend hours reading up on my personality type and human behavior a lot, lol. If you're open to it you can go to https://www.16personalities.com/ and read up on your current Myers Briggs type. It's free, interesting , and fun. Not 100% accurate but definitely interesting perspective. 🧡 I hope this sparks curiosity for you and serves as a productive distraction as you heal. Sending all positive vibes your way.

It feels like I am living in the movie Groundhog’s Day! Every day is the same! My kids ask, “What are we doing today?” My response is always the same, “Nothing. Staying home.” I love having all this extra time with my husband and my girls, but each day feels so mundane. At least the sun is shining here, and the weather is nice. When will quarantine end?!

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!
