I'm not excited about dating! I want to be!
I'm a single mum studying a nursing degree and I feel lonely most of the time. Wherever I go on placement and even when chatting to uni friends, they all have a life. I don't! That's quite sad!
I had an appointment with a counsellor yesterday through uni as I have struggled with the course and juggling being a single mum whilst working. Opening up helped but I was so embarrassed to say I don't have a life. I don't have friends. I really have tried but everyone is busy and I don't get much support with my dd's. I know it's up to me to make it happen but....I feel I have lost interest in everything. Nothing excites me. I can't get motivated to exercise. I have had to be really hard on myself regarding how much wine I drink as I was numbing the loneliness with that. I thought I'd try dating but have no excitement there either. I would like to meet someone.
I'm not depressed. I'm functioning. I plan. I work. I study. I am a mum to 2 busy dd's, who have lots of out of school activities. I just don't enjoy being alone and I would love to know how to enjoy being alone. To be happy alone.
I don't want medication...but ask do I need it?
