The last month for me has been rough, like the kind of rough that slowly creeps in, starts as fatigue, then lack of motivation, then it all ignites and from one day to the next and I have a headache, could eat a whole bag of chips and I feel like my life is out of control (when maybe it really isn’t). Basically, stress.
Recently I took a job that has turned out to be bad – long story short, I have a female boss who is lazy, mediocre and doesn’t follow through on promises to the point that it gets in the way of everyone else. The pay is great, the work life balance is manageable … but this woman drives me straight up a wall even on days that I’ve already done my yoga and had 2 cups of coffee.
Earlier in my life I would have just doubled down on my life outside of work and let this go. Think hobbies, dating, friends and family etc. But in the last year, I suffered a health crisis and during that time had to change my life alot. I lost alot of friends that were partying way too hard for our mid-30s. I have gone through alot of rejection dating on the apps, even though I’m an eligible date. And, alot of my hobbies are solitary (making jewelry and cycling). My life isn’t terribly bad but I feel this lack of traction and momentum. Like even if I take action, nothing moves forward.
Has anyone felt this way? What did you do?

I totally get what you mean, and unfortunately I think sometimes life is just like that.
Is therapy an option for you? During a time that felt like this, my therapist helped me realize I wasn’t as stuck as I thought I was.
I’ve also had some luck meeting people on Facebook groups and Instagram pages for women, does your city have any of those?
