I’m a 32 year old woman, last 4 years I spent in deep depression not meeting people and I wasted my time I feel like. I just started a new job at a new company and applied for masters. I’m trying to turn my life around, do you think I have a chance at my age to make friends and find love life long potential partner? As the holidays come around, I hate them because it reminds me of how alone I am with no friends or family and I keep thinking is this my life going to be until I die—alone?

Dont give up.I suffered my entire life diagnosed with treatment resistant major depressive disorder.I even had a couple suicide attempts it got so bad.I am now 43 and lonely as all get out due to being stuck at home on house arrest.Being lonely is not a good feeling by any means but there is no comparison to the hopeless feelings deep depression leads you too.I will tell you what saved me and cured my depression .I had my doubt because I suffered so long and tried so many different treatments with either very little or no relief at all.It sounds crazy and I not going to say the treatment was all pleasant but if i were you dear i would would recommend doing a little research on ketamine infusion therapy.It only takes like 6 treatments and i swear on everything i love i almost completely forget what it felt like to be depressed.It no guarantee it will help but for me it was a last resort and it gave me my life back.It kinda sucks being 43 stuck on house arrest alone but i am grateful to have a positive outlook and a clear mind.Just in case you are wondering im on house arrest for possession of a controlled substance.I at one time had the brilliant idea that i could use drugs to treat my own depression.Thats in the past and where it going to stay.I wish you well and hope you are able to find your way back.I am going thru alot of the same things you are dealing with working on putting my life together one day at a time.I not sure how this app works as far as private messages go but if you ever want to talk about anything or have any questions make a comment or something on here and i will figure out a way to give you my contact information.There is light at the end of the tunnel i promise.

You’ve got this! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

There's always a chance if you work hard

Most of my friends and I are around your age, most of them single. Most of them still figuring out! Don't let the media or your thoughts or anything else cloud reality - there's definitely still opportunity at any age, especially in your age! Sounds like your making the steps, continue being brave and push yourself (:

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why).
