Relationship Stress / by anxiousandabstract

...See more I've struggled making friends my whole life. I really only have 3 and they all have their own families or other friends. I'm the only one who's always alone. It's really frustrating because when they're busy I have no one to talk to or spend time with. I'm not close to my family and i am not in a relationship. I can't even celebrate things like my birthday or graduation from grad school in May because I don't have anyone to celebrate with. I just want to experience the same things other people get to do.

FOMO and trouble making friends

...See more Hi. I'm new here and still figuring out how everything works. I'm 28 and was first diagnosed with depression and anxiety about 5 years ago, though I'm sure I struggled with it a lot longer than that. I'm finishing a grad program and changing careers. With all the changes happening and with all the stress I've been feeling from having to work full time and go to school and now do an internship, I've been feeling a lot of anger about feeling like I really missed out on just having more time for a social life. I struggle so much with making friends to begin with. I never made any in college and aside from my best friend whom I met at my first job, never made any friends at work after college. I always feel like a loser sitting at home every night on the weekend. I only have a couple of friends so if they're busy or not up for something it sucks. I try to do stuff alone but I feel like you can't really do everything alone.
