...See more So I am about to turn 30 and I feel like I’ve been reflecting on myself lately a lot and realizing how unhappy I am with my life. I am a mom of a 10-year-old, I have an almost 40 year-old boyfriend who has a 14-year-old son. I love them more than anything and I am happy that they are my family. But I feel like I like I have lost my individuality. I don’t know who I am outside being a mom and taking care of the house and working full-time. I used to be an avid reader and I have been struggling for over two years now to pick up a book. I have a series that I used to be a reread over and over again every time I got into a slump and now I can’t even use that to gain back my love for reading. When I have a day off because I need a break, I don’t know what to do with myself so all I do is clean and I feel like that’s not a good way to get my rest that I need. When my daughter is away spending the night somewhere and my boyfriend‘s son is gone and I have time to myself. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m frozen waiting for them to come home. I try to do things and I just get so much anxiety over it. I am truly sick of feeling this way all the time. I don’t know if I’m hitting some sort of crisis in my life of not knowing who I am anymore because I truly don’t know anymore. My days consist of waking up early in the morning, getting my dogs fed, my kids around for school, getting them on the bus, going to work, coming home, making dinner, getting their clothes and lunches for the next day, going to bed and waking up doing it all over again. My weekends don’t even consist of any rest, My boyfriend doesn’t want to sit around the house and do nothing. He likes to go out and see people and I’m stuck following along. I got pregnant young and have no friends. All I truly have is my boyfriend to talk to all day every day. My family isn’t very supportive of me and I don’t talk to them usually nor would I go to them for anything like this. I feel like a burden to my boyfriend because I’m always telling him how I feel and how unhappy I am, and how lonely I am. If anybody knows what to do or has any advice, I would be very appreciative.
