Not really sure what to start but finding myself feeling really stuck and unhappy in life.. there are lots of things I want to change but just no idea where to start.
Firstly, I’ve recently found I have no ‘real friends’. I have really drifted from friends I was once close too and grew up with at school/uni. I have no social life, around the school runs, children’s clubs and kids parties etc.
we live in a really expensive area in Hertfordshire. We have been saving for years to try and get on the mortgage ladder, it just feels more and more impossible. If we can manage to buy here, due to the area we won’t get a lot of house for the money. We live in a very desirable village, lots of the parents are very well off and live in huge houses. (The parents are lovely). I know we shouldn’t compare but I keep putting myself down and always compare, as the difference in wealth is very noticeable. We have looked at moving away, however this would mean we lose family support.
There is a part of me that thinks taking the leap and moving will offer us lots more opportunities and will be able to get a bigger house for less money. I would love to live more in the countryside. Where we are, it’s becoming so built up.
i think I’ve lost a sense of myself, all of my energy goes into my children and working full time. I am so burnt out and feel I have lost a sense of purpose for myself.
i am not sure really why I am posting but just wanted to see if anyone else has felt similar and how you overcome them.
