Hi Stian,
Welcome to Openhand 👍
The path is a constant journey of peeling back the layers. So until you've actually ventured down one avenue (leaving the relationship for example), you won't reveal the new layers - blocked by doubt and fear for example. The key is not to block the feelings out. First keep anchoring in the Sacred Ground of Being - that which is beyond fear. It might just be the centred sense of self within the heart for example. But then allow the fears to come up and express them. Know that they are not you - they're just a transient experience and at some point will pass. By expressing them, you illuminate what the fear is.
What I found is, that when you've been used to being in relationship, the ego craves another presence in that form. But when you've let it go, can you now find the presence in all other forms around you? In nature for example, in creatures, the breeze or the sun. Look for the companionship in all these other things. Then you'll be able to let go of needing it in a particular form.
Best wishes
Open 🙏
