My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

Hello…what are the things you can be grateful for right now amidst the circumstances that have your anxiety high? Can you think of things you have been wanting to do and just haven’t yet? Perhaps it would be a good time for personal growth. Two positive things come from this:

1. You learn something new and perhaps fun!
2. When you do find your person you have interest traits to bring to the table.

Just rhetorically speaking. Wishing you peace of mind.
