I know this feeling all too well... It is definitely something that still gets to me. I have the hardest time falling asleep when laying in bed alone, I've just never gotten used to it again. This is why most of the time I seem to pass out on the couch with the tv on and then later, wake up and turn it off and stumble into the bedroom and just collapse - already half asleep.

Just hang in there man.... and, if I may, I'd like to share this piece of advice:

This is something that spoke to me a few years back when I felt lost and hopeless after my ex-wife left me and my life spiraled into a deep depression.
It's from the movie Castaway.
It was towards the end of the movie and it was in regards to staying on that island so long and that piece that got washed ashore that he ultimately used to make it off that island... He said something like this:
"I know what I have to do now - keep living... because tomorrow the sun will rise, ...and you never know what the tide will bring in."

Wise words there, my friend. Remember them.
