Bio

Guy in his 30s looking to improve his wellbeing and to find ways to better cope with anxiety and depression.

Always been an anxious person, but as of late it’s seemed to affect my life in more disruptive ways. The depression seems to be a more recent thing that is driven by the anxiety and worry.

Engineer by trade with no close family who’s into all things tech, cars, motorcycles, and video games.

...See more Does anyone have stories to share or suggestions on how to stay driven and positive when you’ve suddenly become the last person in your friend group to be single? Its like it snuck up on me but here I find myself the last single person in my friend group and I suddenly feel like such an outsider and so lost. I feel so lonely. My life exists just to wake up, work, go to sleep, rinse and repeat. Its like once people become married they suddenly no longer have the same social interests they once had. That or they feel the need to only do married couple things together. Im so lonely and lost these days as it’s like the “system”, right or wrong is forcing a lifestyle on me. Where once my friends were my support system and social system, it’s now gone and I have nothing. I work from home too, so I can go days without leaving my apartment and interacting with someone in person, it’s just so depressing and I feel like I’ve lost any purpose and don’t even know how to have fun anymore. Id love to hear stories from how others have dealt with this or from the perspectives of married folks. Just cause you’re married, does your social life suddenly become just you and your spouse? That’s basically what happened with my friends. Any help or thoughts about how to push forward and find a new purpose would be appreciated.
