I am terrified.

My thoughts about life are keeping me awake. My 41st birthday was July 21st, and I’m freaking out. Where has all the time gone? What am I doing with my life? Do I still have time to change it without rushing? Will I wake up tomorrow 80 years old with nothing accomplished? I’m totally flipping out in a very bad way, and trying to keep myself together without having a complete meltdown.

I truly identify. I myself turned 41 this year and I feel very behind others my age. I have PTSD though so I know why but it doesn't make it better. I watch everyone I used to know on social media going on vacays, having kids, dating, and most are married. I have no money for vacay, no job and no bf. I feel no guy would ever want a person with as much anxiety as me. It really sucks to feel so hopeless. I started therapy again so I hope to gain some confidence tools. I know how you feel. And I know that accomplishments do not matter as MUCH as feeling joy about WHO we are...and you are perfect as you are NOW!!!!! 🌼
