So, if you girl don't mind I'll use this forum to vent, as usual. Maybe someone will relate to my feelings and it'll help somehow ...

I've had a recent breakup, and subsequently I'm feeling kind of down and depressed, with frequent crying outbursts. Pretty normal, I guess... but the twist is I don't think it is related to the ex himself... My life is kind of a mess right now, I'm recovering from a knee surgery, and so not really good health. This influences work, so not in a good place in the work area also...

But what is really making me sad is that - opposite to what I previously believed - I realized I do want to have kids! I've had a pregnancy scare just before the break up, and I realized that I was kind of hoping I was pregnant, even though everything in my life was not in a good timing. and I felt profoundly sad that I was not. And now it hits me that time is going by. And relationships are coming and going. And I'm 37 and my time for babies is running out 🤷 I always feared this would happen, that I would wake up someday and realise that I did want to be a mother and it would be too late...

So... Anyone can relate to this? How do you cope?
