Childfree (not by choice) Women

...See more Are there any childfree (not by choice) women on here?  I feel so alone in this. See, I've always wanted to have a family of my own and at my age, I am worried it will never happen. I'm still single and as women, we have a timeline to have children. My mental health has really held me back in life and I feel so sad knowing that I may never have the family I've always wanted. I'm low-income and don't see myself as a single mom due to the financial and emotional stress. I feel so alone and so behind in life. I come from an abusive family and have been in therapy for several years and there is nothing more that I've wanted than to have a family of my own. I feel like I don't belong anywhere and feel doomed to be alone and miserable forever.

...See more I've struggled with eating disorders for many years. I was doing well for a couple of years however a little over a year ago, I fell into a relapse that's purely restricting. For the past four months or so I've noticed I've been losing much more hair than typical. It's progressively getting worse to the point of very thin hair. It's worse in certain spots and it's very noticeable. I have long curly hair and cut it a week ago becuse it was more obvious with longer hair. My hair is the shortest it's been since I was a young kid. I feel even uglier than I normally do. Has anyone else gone through a similar experience to where it is noticeable? Some spots are so thin you can see scalp. My doctor is aware of this and sadly it's due to malnutrition. I'm trying hard to incorporate more food. I feel so ashamed of myself.
