i’m sorry for the long paragraph i’m going to write. is this is some kind of quarter life crisis?
i’m 26, i’ve had the same boyfriend (28m) for 5 years now, he’s everything to me, i want to marry him one day, but i have so much self doubt of me being his first girlfriend that he’ll leave me one day, & find someone better. we have such a happy, loving & healthy relationship & i just am so anxious i’m going to lose that one day it really is bothering me recently.
i’m stuck in a job that i don’t want for myself forever, i have no idea what i want to do with my life, i have no interest in going back to school, i have always struggled with seeing things through, i give up on myself easily & it’s been extremely hard for me recently given i feel like i haven’t actually accomplished anything.
i don’t have much guidance in terms of parents, my mom has basically always just been a friend to me, my dad passed away when i was a kid, i’ve always felt abandoned & that feeling / fear of abandonment has stuck with me my whole life.
i have disordered eating habits, i don’t know how to dress myself anymore, i hate my body, the way i look, & i’m very addicted to nicotine, i have no idea how to even begin to quit that.
i recently visited my dad’s grave, & i feel like ever since then things have been worse for me emotionally, i never dealt with it properly, i went so many years pretending i never had a dad, & i think it’s catching up to me. i’ve been having nightmares every night since i went to my hometown & visited him & my family on that side, which breaks my heart because i’m close with that side, i don’t understand why i’m having these nightmares.
in about june i started to go to the gym every day & eat healthier, i felt so much better, i kindof just stopped doing it last month, i lost motivation, & once again i didn’t see something through.
i feel so overall disappointed & unhappy with who i am, & what i even bring to the table, my looks, my personality, my mood swings when i get like this.
my boyfriend has always loved me through it all but i’m just so scared he’s going to leave me one day too. i really don’t even know why, he’s never been a cheater, he’s never yelled at me, he truly is just one of a kind & i don’t feel deserving of him.
i guess what i’m looking for advice wise here is some sort of guidance on how i can start to put things back together here. again, i apologize for the long paragraph & i’m open to suggestions, thank you if you read all the way through
everytime my boyfriend & i visit him (we live abt 4 hrs away from his grave) he dusts it off, & lets me stay for as long as i need. just so thankful for my partner.
my dad was a wonderful, hilarious, stubborn man, he took his own life in ‘08, & i miss him everyday, these little visits are always nice.
still more growth to be had for sure but i’m proud!!
my version of treating myself is getting my entire shin blasted
i love mexican, greek, i LOVE a good poutine, i’m into sushi, & i love pasta / italian as well :) let me know!!
bonus points if you have one for my boyfriend too (last slide)
he is so tough jesus christ
