Depressed and fed up with life.
I’ll be 31 in a couple of weeks, and I really thought I’d have it all figured out by now. I have plenty of wonderful friends, but that’s about the only thing in my life that has worked out. I got laid off a few months ago from an industry where my skills are in dwindling demand, but I have no qualifications or significant experience in anything else, and really don’t know what to do with the rest of my life. And even with all my friends, I’m incredibly lonely. I only rarely manage to find a girlfriend, and have never managed to keep one for more than 3 months, ‘though none of them have ever really told me why - it just doesn’t work out. I just want to be able to stop worrying about all this and get on with living my life, rather than just existing, but I can’t see my way out. Is it any wonder I’m depressed!?
