“Mid-Mid” Life Crisis

Ok....crisis may be a little dramatic but it certainly feels like a crisis!!

I am 21, and I have been dating my boyfriend since I was 17. He’s been my first everything.

Recently I can’t help but wonder if I’m settling or if I should be out there like others my age dancing and meeting new people. Then I get all worked up about it and start thinking and then overthinking until I’ve convinced myself I’m unhappy. In reality, I AM happy when I’m with him. It’s the overthinking and anxiety when I’m not with him that takes over.

Does anyone have any advice on finding “the one” and knowing it? I also have anxiety and depression so I obviously overthink way too much and I can jump from problem to problem. Do you have anxiety and think am I settling or am I happy and just need to stop thinking?

I feel like I let thoughts get to me and then it’s just a vicious cycle of “what if”.
