Go for it! What's stopping you?
Have you tried working out? Not saying that it will fix things, but it will prolly help a little. (releases testosterone and endorphin and all that). You don't have to be as extreme as me, just go for a jog or do a few pushups or whatever.
About #SHEENing things away. In 2009 I did a 1550 mile walk, over 78 days, with very little human interaction. All I had was myself and my mind. You'd be amazed how negative your thought process can get. I've never in my life been so close to going bonkers, and it was all self made.
You start by putting these ideas into your head about your friends not liking you, you girlfriend ****ing your best friend, your mom and dad hating you, you not being good enough for anything, and so on. It's just sickening. And there's no one there to say; hey! Thats not true.
It's sounds like a terrible cliché, but thinking happy thoughts is a good thing. Just make sure that they have some root in reality.
Trough work I've had a few chats with
Rune Gjeldnes. He also thought that the hardest thing about being alone over time is the obsessions you get about the world being a terrible place and you not good enough. He too thought that "thinking happy thoughts sounds stupid, but when there's noone there to support you they are your best and only friend".
