    Hi

    I just don't know where I am going with life at the moment. I went away to college,moved back home a few years later and all the friends I had have moved away and moved on. I have a good job. I live at home and am wondering if this is part of the problem. I am 28, the eldest in my family and single. My brothers and sisters are all younger and in happy relationships, building houses etc. I just feel that I am in a rut and don't know how to get out of it. Any advice, please-

    Do you do any sports/ exercise? That is always a good release.

    Get a list of clubs in your area & surrounding areas. Try & think is there anything you would like to get into, sport, drama, hiking etc etc.

    Are there any friends of friends around that you didnt previously know that are also in the situation of having their friends depart? You ciould try and build up a friendship with them.

    hey op,

    i know exactly how you feel. I am in tHE exact same situation except i'm female. i feel all my friends have moved on except me. was going through a bad patch there recently as I was feeling so sorry for myself. sometimes i literally do nothing and thats what is depressing. all my college friends have babies etc and although i am not near wanting that stage yet it still hurts to see everyone else having moved on.

    try to join some clubs that are of interest to you. i know it's hard. when i was in my teens and early 20's I always had some sort of relationship going and now that I am older have been single practically 6 years apart from the odd month here and there. I find it hard to meet both friends and potential boyfriends. sorry I know i am waffling here but just letting you know you are not alone! xx
