I couldn't wait to get out of a marriage that went bad. So how come now I feel so lost and direction less?
I hate this feeling. I didn't think starting over would feel this empty.

Consider volunteering in a nursing home. Having coordinated dozens of such groups I know for a fact the positive effect it has, just your realizing at the end of the day what a huge difference you made to someone who no longer has a family, their own home etc. You added moments of a rare quality of life. You reinforced a few more days to their willingness to thrive.
Not only is your impact on a patients daily life, valuable, you become a bit more social being around other volunteers who are in EXACTLY the same frame of mind as you are. Many of these ladies and yes, even elder gentlemen form strong, beautiful friendships often for years. Just consider this as an option. I know exactly what I'm talking about. It CAN and will change your life.
