Hi! Fellow 23 year old lady here who’s going through something kind of similar. Just began a divorce in December and was (up until 2 weeks ago) really heavily feeling like I missed him… but I realized that I was in fact just lonely.

I left college and have lived with my grandparents and then with my ex and now by myself. I never really had the opportunity to make friendships. If that makes sense?

So… I got another cat, which sounds dumb but seriously pets have been a game changer for me. They give a me focus. I am still contemplating getting a dog because that’s motivation to get out and go for a walk, etc. but not sure with my job being pretty demanding. I would consider if you can afford it.

Other than that, get exercise and get out of your house. Coffee shop to scroll or read for an hour. I don’t know where you live, obviously, but just going places that other people are really helps me.
