The day I turned 30 I flew back to the US from a long trip and my flight was super delayed. Finally I got in and was exhausted and my mom and her 70 year old best friend came to pick me up. When they pulled around to arrivals all the windows were down, a million balloons were spilling out of the car, and they were waving a huge sign that said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO PARTY LIKE IT'S 1984!!! So turning 30 felt pretty good.

I took a trip with a girlfriend to celebrate, but I was unhappy the entire time because I was unhealthy as fuck and hated everything about my life. It's been 4 years since, lost 80 pounds, made SM, got engaged and bought a place. But my 30th birthday was a slap in the face that I needed to teach me that it's my life and I get chose what I want to make of it.

It wasn't an arranged marriage. Sometimes things don't workout as you plan. We had a mutual consent divorce.

I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
