Yesterday I logged onto facebook for basically the first time in years to talk to one specific person I'd been missing. I ended up getting into scrolling down my front page to see whatsup. And what I saw was a bunch of people my age who have their lives together, a spouse, and kids. And I realized like, well of course, im about to be 32 lmao, that would make sense. But knowing that I'm that old and totally "off track" with no job, a small subsidized apartment I get through disability services, and no family and no prospects of having a family (and yes, I want a family) is incredibly depressing and anxiety inducing. Very sad times.
You have to let go of the notion that there is a particular track in life in the first place. It's okay to not be happy with where you're at in life, but don't let it be because it doesn't measure up to others or some imaginary standard
Yeah, rationally I realize that but emotionally it still sucks.
Yeah. Social media is fucking poison for this. Especially since people present the best version of their lives online. You can't tell the couple who are about to get divorced from looking at their selfies or who's clinically depressed and so on

Its definitely about family for me but I feel you.
