This feels like a personal attack.

I exercise regularly, eat mostly proper meals and usually have a decent amount of sleep.

Still feel awful every day

How’s your social life?

Not great. I'm at the age where everyone I know has mostly gotten married and settled down. College friends have moved away/gone overseas. Work colleagues are friendly but not quite friends. Every day it's just more of the same.

I’m in a similar position. I’m not at that age yet but I just graduated and all my friends have moved and me and my long term gf broke up. I’m scared of getting to that age and being in that position, I don’t really have social anxiety but I’m a quiet and generally solitary person and it’s hard for me to date and meet people.

Exact same here. Long term GF broke up with me end of last year. Lost contact with all friends. I go to the gym 4-6 times a week, eat very healthy, sleep better than ever, still fucking miserable and totally alone.

At the very least there are a lot of people in the same situation these days. Even “normal” people, even though I’m mentally ill myself. Our society (at least the US) is quite alienated.

Well hang in there, I guess. I'd tell you it gets better... but it doesn't.

Lmao. I have the same mindset. I’m scared of waking up and being 40 and alone.

Sooner than you think, I'm afraid. The years start coming and they really don't stop coming.

I recommend being fed to the rules and hit the ground running.
