I'm turning 30 this week and I want to make positive changes.
I was a young mum at 18.
For 7 years of my 20s I was a drug addict. I managed to get off the drugs and move away from the area and stay clean for my kids sake.
But I lost all my friends and family. I've been a hermit of myself for the past 3 years and I hate it. I don't go out, my partner doesn't take me on dates, we have nobody to have the kids and I don't work due to chronic auto immune diseases that set in after I got clean.
I feel so down about turning 30. I have nobody to celebrate it with other than my partner. I would love to go out and go to the pubs and have a nice night the two of us but he won't ever plan anything like that. I don't feel like I have control of anything and it depresses me. I would love to write and make a living out of it but I don't have the energy.
How do I change my life so in a decade I can look back and finally feel happy? I don't want to spend another decade unhappy.
