I’m 27F and work in tech in a sort of HCOL city. It’s young and vibrant and people love it here.

Personally, I miss the beaches and the coast but for now I’m here. I have, on paper a good life, however I do struggle with depression and am in medication for it. By good on paper, I have a decent job, I’ve done a great job managing my finances for a young woman and learning to invest, I have a dog who I love with my whole heart and she truly gives me meaning, I live with my boyfriend and although we’ve been through our ups and downs we support and love each other, I have some friends here (maybe this is where it isn’t so great) but not enough to feel like I have a community.

Anyway idk I’m just venting. I miss my family who live states away, I regret not following my career dream after college, and I just want to live carefree and start doing fun things to enjoy my life but I feel stuck.

Where does one even start? I think the pandemic kept me (and many) in this constant funk and I don’t know how to get out.
