What do I do?

AmyLR94

I’m turning 30 in a couple of weeks and have been feeling really low about my life. I’ve had a lot of things happened this year that has me doubting my future and what to look forward to.

I have been worried about:

  • Romantic relationships, how I understand them and if anyone would find me attractive with all my “problems”
  • My health
  • My independence (if I can cope living on my own one day)
  • Understanding about money and how to learn to budget etc 

I have been volunteering since July/August and have been loving it. But I have been feeling like I am missing something. I also envy my brother and his fiancée as they basically have everything I would like in my life (job, house, relationships etc). And I know that if I would like something like that I should go for it…but I find it difficult to pursue things I guess.

Basically I just feel lost, lonely and unsatisfied with life and unable to figure out what I should do.

  • Good morning,

    Think it's the years are going quickly and the shock of birthday and Christmas "is around the corner. " charity shops are really good for gifts as one I like the prices are cheap. Others are bit expensive now. 

    I'd cried when I turned 30 in 2013. Now I'm in my early 40s. Some people think I'm joking and ask me do you go to college? 

    Got back into volunteering since 2022, where I go to a group and do different tasks etc. I was wary at first then everyone made me feel welcome.

    Unfortunately 2020 my life turned upside down due to UK declared covid. Used to volunteer at the library and now only wanted one volunteer per shift now. Absolutely ridiculous and why not have a backup list (I only live 5 minutes away)

    Just want people to accept me what I want to do.

    Last time I'd tried something new, thrown up, gave me impossible assignment (2nd person tried to  do it); and couldn't go back. Plus got messed around with OH etc. Much simpler is to have an app (to pick up shifts); sorry it's something I like to talk about.
