Wow. For a minute I thought I had written this! I feel the same way. I'm 40, overweight, single, no kids, only child, very small family, and virtually NO friends. I hate my job more than anything you could ever imagine, to the point where it's causing me serious health problems. I also have to deal with my parents ongoing medical issues and have no help. My boyfriend and I broke up almost 2 years ago after a long and terrible relationship. The only thing that keeps me going is my 2 dogs that I feel are my children. I have zero chance of ever finding a decent man or even making any new friends because I'm so miserable I won't leave my house... unless it's for work or to walk the dogs. I keep going further and further down this spiral and it's terrifying and overwhelming. I'm convinced after the few people I have in my life are gone, I will die completely alone.
