You are in that scary place of not knowing how to be. But have faith, says Philippa Perry
The question I seem to have lost all momentum in my life and I don’t know what to do. Until a couple of years ago, I had a stressful but rewarding life working abroad and travelling. I had a long-distance relationship and friends around the world. Then my relationship broke up, my father died and Covid happened. Because of the pandemic my company limited my job to a desk-only role, and they are happy with that despite me doing almost nothing. My family struggled at first without my dad, so I spent time supporting them, but now they’re in a good place, so I’m not needed.
A lot of my friends settled during this time. They’ve now got dogs, marriages and kids and, although I’m happy for them, it means they are less available. Covid stopped my dating life, except online where the women all seem to be looking for someone to settle down with.
