I’m doing a similar approach. Also at some particularly rough stages, I planned ahead how I was going to get through each day, who I was going to hang out with and what I was going to do, extra therapy too. I still am inviting myself over to some married with children friends’ homes. I learned from another friend who went through a similar extremely difficult situation. His C told him to pick up the phone and call close friends and arrange to get together and not to settle for scrolling and texting only.
