No I definitely feel this way …you are not alone
It's really normal for milestone birthdays to bring up this sort of thinking. As far as friendships go, you have to put in a lot more work than you expect to make adult friends. It takes time, *A LOT* of time, and that's hard when you're raising little kids. (for both parties!) You are ready to connect with people but now you need to put yourself in a position to do so. Find a local group you are at least moderately interested in (probably based around an activity) and go without fail. The more often they meet, the better. Something that meets weekly or more is your best bet.
What have you tried to relive your anxiety? Have you done any Yoga, been out in nature recently? Sometimes we go through this at different points in life and when you come out the other end you realise it was all part of your awakening, take time to be still and just remember everything will pan out in the end it will all be ok, you have done amazing being a Mum at 18 that’s must of been hard work so hats off to you xx
