Hey OP! You’re not alone. We go through rough times in our lives and as long as we have our health and our loved ones we can make it through.

Your ex missed out on a great person and I’m sure you’ll definitely make new friends and form new better relationships in your life!

More than happy to be one of the new friends you make so feel free to reach out anytime! Things will get better and you’re not alone!

at times like this is seems like no one understands but hopefully one day soon it will get better. I’m trying to stay positive i guess things haven’t gone how I would have planned it but I guess that’s just life lol thank you for your positivity 💙

Hang in there OP. I know times are tough but take it step by step. Keeping talking to your family and if you have no friends, maybe it is time to start talking to some past acquaintances? Take a break and get some mental peace. It will really help.

We are all living virtually so while no friends/acquaintances nearby, still make an effort to connect. You will feel better (speaking from experience). This pandemic is going to impact everyone and all of us need to be positive to fight it out. There are days when I get depressed but then I realise that there are migrant workers in India who have no choice but to walk 100s of Kilometres and risk there life. This makes me realise that I have a lot to be thankful of and keep fighting this out.
PS: gave India’s example as I am based out of India

Keep plugging away things will straighten out but may take time. Stay positive. If you’re not working then take this time to stay sharp by learning something. Good luck

I am lucky to still have my current job it is just unfortunate that I don’t enjoy corporate banking at all. I know I’m really fortunate to still have a job but hopefully when this is all over I can find my true calling. I might do some free online courses and if I can learn some new skills or find a new career path. I’ve just struggled to stay focused with everything going on

Any pointers? No kids. Married for 3 years. I paid her student loans and put her through school.

I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

I found some extremely provocative and inappropriate TikTok’s of my cousin’s kid today (8 years old). I’m genuinely concerned. My first instinct was to call my cousin (whom I’m close with, like a sis) and tell her but after giving it some time, I’m on the fence. About a year ago, I found inappropriate TikTok’s of a close friend’s kid and told my friend as soon as I found out. She sounded appreciative that I let her know but TBH, our relationship hasn’t been the same and we rarely talk anymore.
