Hi folks….another year has practically passed and things haven't improved I’m sure but I’ve distanced myself from what we’re my circle of friends just didn’t feel the same way as I used too, managed to mess up a very long term friendship….which I miss but must move…I’m not enjoying life it’s lost it’s edge often think perhaps I’ve had the best years
..I’ve had so much stress over the last few years made some poor decisions…..wish I could see more clearly.

Hello Fergus, no matter what age you are, people do change and for many different reasons, or just because they want their life to head in another direction and there is nothing wrong with this.
Sometimes people can't remain the same because their situation changes, have other interests or get bored with their current life, so they change, which means friends will do the same and eventually fade away, so another chapter begins.
Try and develop new interests, ones which you may have not even considered years ago, but now they may appeal to you, life changes in years and then it makes you decide on other options.
There is no harm in changing friends,, some become boring whiles others are more radical and don't suit your life-style any more, but don't let it concern you if you are unsure of what to do, something will happen that will direct you in that direction.
It may happen straight away or you might be kept in limbo for a few weeks, but will eventually happen.

Hi Fergus-2159,
I'm sorry, it much be so hard of you.
Don't blame yourself cause everyone makes mistakes and terrible decisions.
I can tell that you are seriously reflecting on yourself, which is a good start.
When you say you've had so much stress over the last few years, do you want to share your story, and where do you think the stress mainly comes from?

Hi there,
I am sorry you are going through a hard time, that must be difficult to distance yourself from friends. What sort of things make you think that life has lost its edge? Is it possible you might need to seek out new experiences and friendships that are more in line with your current stage of life?
Seeing a mental health professional is also something I would suggest to help you move through these feelings and experiences.
Stay strong,
Jaz xx
