Hello, I was just wondering if anyone else has been through this before and how they helped themselves get out of it?
I'm turning 28 next week, and I'm pregnant with my first baby due in July. I was out in the garden sowing some seeds today and started to feel really down. My hobbies are literally things that to put it nicely older people like to do- sewing projects, gardening, cooking. I feel like I'm living much older than my years. I've got lovely friends who (under normal circumstances) I could easily go a couple of months without seeing (in other words, I'm quite happy as a hermit!). Also, out of my friendship groups I'm the first to get married and pregnant-so I feel alone in that respect as well.
I'm also coming up to the 10 year anniversary of my mum's death. She died suddenly at the age 47, so I guess that's having an impact on how I'm feeling too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm generally happy and positive, I guess I'm having a stupid day.
How do I get more..."joie de vivre" out of my life? How do I live the last couple of years in my 20s as an actual 20-something and not the old fart overly-mature person I've turned into? I just feel like I'm missing out but don't even know how to rectify it.
