I've had another day again where I've been overthinking about things again like worried I'm delaying the chances of wanting to meet someone because I am 30+ and feeling left behind because I am seeing some people married and got kids.

I also didn't feel like wanting to interact with my 5 year old nephew when he came round with my sister. I did that thing where I didn't talk much until someone asked what was wrong. It feels as though I'm a different person whereas I always was someone who likes to laugh and be friendly with people and still do.

I don't want to be a sad and gloomy person. I feel stupid sometimes when I feel this way like I'm an overgrown child because I just don't talk unless someone talks to me to find out what is wrong. The frustration ends up just bringing tears in the end, not just for me but to others at home as well.

Have you thought of getting counselling or therapy Chris? I am finding these pretty good:
