I was just looking through the boards here and noticing how many threads are about sexual side effects. I can't help but wish that I could worry about such problems. If only I had someone to love and someone who loved me. I so dearly want to be a wife and mother but it seems so unattainable. I'm lonely and depressed. I'm in my mid 20's and it seems like everyone has someone but me. Anyone else in the same boat?

I certainly was in that boat in my twenties. Then I got pregnant by a guy I thought I was in love with, who married me then turned around the kicked me out when our son was three weeks old.
ANything else? I've earned a right to be talking about sex in this, my early old age. My age is posted with my "name", hon, and I've never had real love.
Maybe others can add more hopeful voices.

I think wanting to have a family is a great idea. I'm in my early 20s and I wanted to settle down with the last girl I was with. A nice long term fulfilling relationship would be nice. Eventually settling down would be sweet. Just someone to love and spend time with. Do all the fun stuff you can do with SO and can't do with someone who's just a friend. They know your past and they know who you are. It'd be great. Of course I've got this mental illness that and I think I have a gang after me who claim to be after me on my ex-gf's behalf. I don't think she'd approve of it - not if she knew everything. Her sister might. I don't know her sister though. I thought she was genuine. She was. This gang isn't. I'm still a little in dboubt.
Trust is very important. You have to be careful. Getting over the depression is probably a good place to start. Then just network and go find your soulmate. Follow what your heart desires man. The modern obsession with independance won't necessarily get you anywhere. I'm not saying it's useless either. Just follow your nose/heart/soul, and take care of yourself.

I am in the same boat but a bit older than you.
Sadly, for me, when I do start getting into a relationship, I run, yet I crave it as well.
Of course this is an ongoing discussion in my therapy.
I want to be with someone, yet I am afraid of it. My past relationships have not been great and my parents' marriage is not at all inspirational.
This is the end of the thread.
