Feeling great, but i still have to follow the steps i took when i was a little bit more desperate. Think all these new feelings and emotions are coming out. Need to still focus, on my dreams, on myself.
Not thinking of the people who abandoned me, as long as i didnt abandon myself.
New life, with new people.
Was feeling sad today, but maybe thats healthy. ?

You say you are feeling great. You also say you are feeling sad. These are mutually incompatible. I assume that you mean you are physically well, but now have no wish to re-engage with the people who detached themselves from you when you were ill and are therefore lonely. I can understand that.
Perhaps you have three choices: put that resentment to one side and re-engage (if they are willing), do nothing and remain lonely, or find new friends/aquaintencies.
Loneliness is not just undesirable for you mentally. It causes stress with bad physical results. We are social animals that do not thrive on our own. I strongly advise you to seek company. There are other people who are lonely too. They need your company as much as you need theirs. It is a sad fact that in our highly connected world, loneliness is a problem. Try to remember fun. You have got your health back (great!!). Re-adjusting to "just having a laugh" is now a possibility. Make the most of it. Spread a little joy. In this frame of mind you will attract company like moths to a candle.
I agree that getting well means having to start a new life.
Lots of things can be more difficult about being less sick. I found that when I was very ill, and all I cared about every day was whether I would get to eat and drink, and get to the toilet.
The more I get well, the more I have all these desires for things! And my emotional landscape is a lot more complicated. But also, there is a big gulf between me and other people. I find a lot of able-bodied people's complaints and worries every day very outside my experience.
I think it is kind of healthy. You've got to slowly learn at each step how to handle yourself emotionally! And to remember that every day when you don't give in to complete despair is a big achievement for sick people.
