[quote=Anonymous]I've had a dear friend go through this for several years in mid-life. In her case, I think there is an element of OCD-like, unproductive thinking that has finally been helped with a mediation change and a good treating psychiatrist. The thing that frustrates me is her lack of action to change things she doesn't like about her life. I her case she regrets not finding a life partner and complains about being lonely, but she does little about it. If you're lonely, join 6 groups- A church choir; a regular volunteer organization, Sierra Club hiking group, a book club etc. They won't all pan out, but start building out avenues that might just lead you to build real connections you desire. Paralyzing regret and wishing you'd taken another path is non-productive. Decide what can help move you toward a more positive direction and MOVE TOWARD IT. [/quote]
