I'm 25f and have no one to send NYE with all my friends are out of town or going to exclusive parties with work friends and I'm just going to be at home. I know if it was important I should have planned but as I get older it feels sadder. Anyone else feel this way?

Confirming that it does get sadder as you get older, especially if your friends have gotten married, have just done small house gatherings, or have moved.

I haven't made any NYE plans either. I could have been with friends out of state, but I needed to be here to take of things.

I actually don't mind going out by myself, but I think it would be very strange to buy tickets to go out for NYE by myself, lol. Usually every place has people in groups who have bought tickets. I think after 1 am, it doesn't really matter and there are big parties all over.

Are there any good spots that would likely have singles where it would be as awkward leading up to midnight?

YES. i genuinely like NYE, i think it is a cute holiday, but all my (married) friends here want to spend it at home/in bed by midnight. i would not want to go anywhere alone. definitely gets sadder as you get older, i think next year ill just plan to travel (and then with my luck that’ll be the year everyone suddenly gets a burst of energy)

Trying to choose between TAO and Prysm. Haven't been to either but have been wanting to try TAO!

Anddd pulled the trigger on Tao. Looking forward to it!

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Sister going through divorce with verbally abusive spouse, just received temporary judgement for custody of two year old and was awarded joint custody (she was anticipating she’d get sole custody). It’s tearing her apart and I can’t help/live in another state. Anyone have a good recommendation for family lawyers or counselors in/around Phoenix? Any good support groups that could help?

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.
