I live in shared place with 2 friends and they seem happy, but I'm not. Everyone I know as partner, settled down, kids etc and I'm still single!!! My ex that I wasted years over has just had a baby with his girlfriend and I'm so jealous that eats me up inside. I think people look at me and think how pathetic, 31 earning no money, living in a tiny flat share in London and single... I think I'm far too old to meet someone now anyhow! I think of positives... I drive, I have a degree, I'm not bad looking... But the bad out ways the good. I was happy few years back and was in a fantastic career and wish I never gave it up to try something new! But I did! Now I'm screwed as can't get back into previous career! I'm so unhappy. I don't earn any money and I'm consumed with jealous that all friends are happy and settled in either careers or relationship... Most both!!! I honestly believe I'll be on my own living on no money forever!!! It's terrible feeling xx

Firstly, you must of changed jobs for a reason. It couldnt of been that great if you wanted out, its just your only choosing to remember the good bits. Secondly you are doing the same with your old relationship.
I think you are someone who finds it hard to let anything go.
You should be happy that you have a job in this recession. I think you need to stop living in fantasy land thinking a relationship will make you happy. They dont. You need to work on yourself. The only person that can make you happy is yourself.
Learn to love yourself and it will attracked people to you. Nobody wants to get involved with someone who complains and expects that life owes them one. Its that old saying, life is what you make it. No one can live your life for you. That is souly upto you and how you deal with your circumstances. Best of luck, and go with love x.
