Just a bit.....lost

    This is the first time in my life I've ever really felt like I'm struggling with my mental health.

    I'm 29 female and I was in a relationship for most of my twenties and this time last year my heart was broken. He cheated on me and turned my world upside down. It's been hard to get my head around the fact that all my future plans have gone up in smoke and I'm back to square one.

    I did get into a rebound relationship with someone who told me I was the sun moon and stars even though I totally wasn't ready for a new relationship. Then six months later just spontaneously lost interest.

    That's not my main issue though. It's the fact that all my friends are in relationships getting married having babies and have no time for me any more. I work in Dublin but I'm in my home county for the summer. Dublin really isn't for me and I have no friends there bar very good work colleagues but obviously as it's summer and we're teachers we're all scattered. But then if I give up my job I'm coming home to....nothing.... hanging out with my mam just.

    Maybe it's the lack of routine just getting to me but how do you cope when everything just really really hasn't gone to plan. I'm irritable with my family and just so sad and lonely. Maybe it's because I'm from a more rural area but I just feel such a stigma about being single now.

    Start looking for jobs in the countryside, even if it's not in your home county you might be happier out of Dublin, I know it wasn't for me. I know it's difficult to get a job as a teacher but hopefully something would come up.

    I'm 29 also and the majority of my friends are single, so I wouldn't be too worried. Coming out of a long-term relationship is hard and I didn't have the extra heartache of cheating. I gave myself a 'year of me' it was amazing! I wanted to just do 100% what I wanted to do without having to take someone else into consideration. I just happened to meet on a random night meet my now boyfriend while I was having the time of my life. We texted/ messaged or 6 months before anything happened.

    So maybe just take a step back and try not to worry that your not on the same page as other people around you. See what really makes you happy, what you'd like to do with your life.
