    I’m at a crossroads in life where I need to start making large and impactful decisions about my future. It’s a very lonely place to be.

    Will my long term relationship last?

    Do I want it to?

    Will I try to stay in this (IRL) community?

    Do I want to?

    Will I stay in this career path?

    Can I afford not to?

    Etc.

    Usually I’d talk to my partner about all this, but because our relationship is also part of my issues, I feel like I can’t. So as a result… I’m feeling lonely and overwhelmed.

      That’s really tough. I’m sorry you feel like you have no one to talk to, especially when you’re considering such tough decisions. If it’s worth anything: it is my opinion that at some point it’s ok to be “selfish” and consider the things that will make you a happier, healthier person in the long run so that you can then share this “better person” with someone who deserves it. Take a break, assess, regroup and start over. You got this!!
