In my late 30s too. 20s were miserable, full of depression, anxiety, etc. Still a struggle sometimes but for the most part I’ve been able to manage it better. Relationships wise, I haven’t had much luck there. Mix of anxiety, not finding the right person, etc. has made me hit pause. However, I met a lot of great friends during college, and those have stuck. I’m basically the “uncle” to all my friends’ kids at this point. I consider myself lucky with my friendships and how they developed. Speech-wise it seems to still be up and down, but I’m recognizing when trouble is going to happen earlier. Let’s me know what to expect going into certain situations better. Outside of that, I’ve been a homeowner for 10 years and run a photo business that continues to grow each year (minus 2020, but let’s not talk about that).
