It sounds like you're going through an extreamly hard time right now, and the thought of being unable to find love is leaving you feeling very, very helpless.
Growing older without a romantic partner feels incredibly painful to you, and it hurts every single time you hear your colleagues or others talking about their partners. You wish so much that romantic love would be something you experience too. I hear you, and it sounds heartbreaking to feel so trapped in this way, and so hopeless.
You mentioned - can I ask what you mean by this?
May I also ask, how are you keeping yourself safe right now? What does the rest of this weekend look like for you, and who do you have around you at this time?
We're listening @bignosegirly0 , and we're right here with you to explore this together
TW: Suicide
I will share below some crisis services that are here for you if you do feel unable to keep safe. I hear that you're hurting so, so much right now, and in ways living feels unbareable.
