I never understood the need for people to get out of a relationship and then get right back out there into the mix so fast. Being alone for a while is good for you.
I agree with this, some people just can't be by themselves not even for a minute seems like.

Dude.

Just wait.

Heal.

Be whole. Then date.

Wait until you're fully ready to date and have recovered from your injury.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm just going to wait it out because I have a lot of physical pain right now, along with leftover emotional pain from the break up.

It's just tough I guess because all of my friends can go out all the time and don't have any grief or medical issues. I guess it's just another trial for me that I know I can get over, in time.

Out of curiosity what makes you think that about anxiety? Surprisingly my anxiety is actually pretty low right now and I've heard that anxiety meds can be a really addicting thing.

Don't worry about meeting anyone new now. Stick with close friends that understand your situation
You only get one shot at a first impression. Now sounds like you might not give a very good one....

Anxiety is not necessarily about feeling tense. You've been gnawing on the same old hang ups and posting about the same set of issues for quite some time. There are drugs for that too.

I have to take some pretty heavy (prescription) drugs for at least the next several months to heal the nerves and minimize the pain. The drugs make me fatigued, sedated, spacey, and almost zombie like at times among other things.

I really want to go out with friends but lack the motivation and energy to do so is really getting to me; I don't want to sit at home and wait 5 months before I get to start getting myself out there again.

What is a good way to meet girls like this? Or should I just stick out the course and worry about that after?
I'm surprised you have to ask. Personally, a man who can't enjoy his own company and can't be without a woman, is a very unattractive trait.

Your biological drive to have sex does not know and does not care about this. People get back out there because they need to have sex.
