Use it as an opportunity to pursue a career you are interested in. Being dependent (even on the kindest, most reliable man in the world) is not good for your MH IMHO.

It's been awful on mine. I'd be very right in saying I think I'm depressed. Everyone's responses to me have confirmed I need to find a job, I just kept beating myself up thinking I wasn't taking this opportunity for granted!

Stayed with first boyfriend far too long, 16-26, massive error and massive diservice to him.

@Forconfessingonly thank you! I think, back in the day, you had to be under 25 to do Inter Rail. My problem now would be getting time off work - which is why I didn't do it in my 20s - I got a job instead.
