    So, on my 10 year wedding anniversary today I want to do this thread in case it helps anyone going through a bad time. I'm 41, I got married at 31. On my 30th birthday, my life was a total disaster.

        I was at the tail end of a 7 year relationship with a really great person for whom I was ill-suited. I wasn't working and had no idea in what direction to take my career.

        I was in debt for the 1st time in my life because I made the mistake of going to grad school yet continued to live like I had the high paying job I had before (I was a pharm paralegal straight out of college which paid well but I quit that to follow my passion into politics). 🙄

        I was in a dark place. I'm an optimistic person but I had a hard time seeing my life improving. I wasn't suicidal, I don't want to minimize people in real darkness, but I was completely adrift.

        I was drinking a lot, daily, and @tomselliott kept asking why I'd always drag him to bars with homeless people asleep in the corner.

        I didn't want to be around functioning, normal, 30 year olds because I was so off the path and also those bars never really close so 4am would come and go and I'd still be out. I'd sleep till 5pm regularly.

        My husband was, actually, my best friend, that's not just something we say. He was main voice, along with my brother, who would reason w/me to get my shit together. But it's so much easier not to. Seriously, "when you ain't got nothing, you ain't got nothing to lose." So true.

        I don't have a secret sauce for how things got better but the summer of my 30th yr I slowly started to pull myself together. I got a consulting job, I spent more time with now-husband, I went outside during the day (that's a big one, it turns out). I took better care of myself.

        After some false starts, my husband and I got together for real that Thanksgiving. We were engaged in September and married the next April. Sometime I'll do a thread about what went right in my career after we got married. There's a lot of people to thank.

        I had to fix myself before I could be with him seriously and then just being with the right person went such a long way toward making everything else fall into place. He knew all my faults and they were ok.

        My big point is that everything seemed hopeless, really hopeless, and then a yr later I was at the start of the best decade of my life. It can turn around so quickly. Don't give up on yourself, don't wallow. Acknowledge you're in a bad place&work to get yourself to a better one.
