Dear Alan:

Keeping busy is a good idea, stick to a daily routine. At times when you are alone, and the sadness and loneliness emerge, take deep breaths and relax best you can. Let the feelings be for a little while: they are uncomfortable but not dangerous. You are able to feel these feelings and be okay.

I suppose it hurts to be rejected by a guy who you were interested in; to be rejected after being intimate with him, that hurts even more. Remember that there is no woman in the world (I don’t think) who was never rejected by a man.

You are strong enough to handle this.

Post again, anytime.
