I (27f) will be turning 28 in a couple of months. I am beyond terrified.

I am single at 27 trying to advance my career and also meet the man of my dreams… I’m starting to think he doesn’t exist. Anyways, I want to get married and have kids and I’m getting up there in age. I feel like in order for me to get pregnant at a “healthy” age, a lot would have to happen in the next few years and I mean A LOT.

I’m scared that once I turn 28 I’ll start getting even more anxious. No good will come of that, I know. I want to find a partner, but I’ve been let down so much over the last year. I don’t even want to put myself out there to date anymore. Or what if I find the man of my dreams and I chase him away because I’m clearly a crazy person (we’ll get to why this is clear)🤣

I have my career problem handled, or at least I did before quarantine. I’ll have to wait and see what side of this the company comes out on 🤞 But when it comes to dating/relationships I’m completely stumped. I don’t know how to tackle this one and it stresses me out because I’m known for always being able to “fix” things.

What if I lose out on the opportunity to have a baby because I can’t find someone who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I refuse to settle, but what if I get to 35 and I end up settling with someone who is a lot worse than another guy I refused to settle with in the past… These are things I think about and it stresses me out. I know you’re not supposed to stress about things that are out of your control, but I feel like I should be able to control this… Like I said crazy person.

I don’t even know if there’s any advice to be given here. I guess I’m just kinda venting/rambling.
