2 years of nothing, who'd have thought that I could end a relationship and be full of hope and and dreams and end up here, 2 years later, having done nothing at all.

its not really nothing nutty. i remember your threads before you split from him. despite the problems you may have now with him, you still sound better off without him than you were whilst with him.

Actually, I do know, I know I thought I'd get a life, make some friends and perhaps meet a nice bloke, get a job.

Didn't quite count on non of that happening.

Are you still up for trying again on a course/new job??
Honestly, working, and making new friends this year has helped my confidence no end, even going out to the pub and catching blokes looking at me or chatting me up - it all helps the confidence x 100!!

Maybe try to find what you are really interested in/what is possible to do, and then it can all unravel from there..you WILL make new friends all of a sudden and also find youre being invited out in the evenings a lot..

Good luck!
