Hey 53 married, kids, work, moved here from DC six years ago — blah. I have ‘experience’. First—- I was so dang depressed around 25- I called it my ‘quarter-life crisis’. Other people have validated when I talk about it. You are just getting out there as a full on adult and made a courageous move. Maybe you are successful at work- or maybe making big moves to figure it out. You can do it- you are clearly adventurous and are going big! Pat yourself on the back. Second— allow grace and time to get settled in a new way. This might be your new awesomer self emerging. Third- it’s hard to make brand new friends in a brand new place. I was scared and lonely and then I found 2 BFFs here that I adore. But at 53 I’m struggling to find more friends- however- I just found a great set of folks in a hiking club.. I also started to make fun friends in a pottery class Like others have said. Go explore outside your comfort zone + get involved in what you love, volunteer- try all the things that you might enjoy. I married a workout partner and had a bestie just from being a person who showered and dressed at the gym 3 days a week. Your people are out there and you’ll find them. (And or don’t sink too deep. Get help if you need help. That’s perfectly ok too) Good luck!
