There is a lot of adjusting to be done. But instead of thinking and worrying, start planning some social ventures - is there some places you can join - like to do with hobbies or something you are interested in. I took up folk music big time when I left home, and was out nearly every night of the week at one point. THEN all changed suddenly and I did not want to do anything but enjoy my own company. Became a bit reclusive for 6 months.

But after all that it got back into balance again.

Different when in a relationship - THAT is when i cannot BEAR to be on my own, with my partner away.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
