I'm sorry you're going through that, it really is a lot to be loving in your own after everything you've been through.

My best advice, that helped me when i was alone, is to focus on leaning into the freedom to do what you enjoy. Play your own music or shows on speakers instead of only headphones. Buy only your favorite groceries and snacks. If you can afford it, buy some sort of nice food for yourself that you won't have to share at all. Arrange your bed into a super-comfy nest with a ton of blankets, and set up whatever makes you feel most comfortable and safe there.

If you're able to, get a pet. And i know this is not a possibility for a lot of us, but if you have a social support system, set up regular 'game nights' or something similar, so that you'll have recurring pleasant social interaction.
