Been there, done that..I've had alot of fun but I'm over it and want to settle down.
Your problem may be in your attitude. I'm not saying that to be mean, please don't take it the wrong way. I'm "settled down" so to speak. I'm married with two kids, but I am still out doing things, I'm still active and involved in a lot of different things that keep me busy and make me happy. I'm a lot older than you. Maybe you are ready to settle down - there's nothing wrong with that. But don't lose your lust for life! You're only 25 - you aren't dead yet! There's nothing wrong with settling down, but also being involved in things that make you happy. Best of luck to you!
Just got news that two of my closest friends are moving away in the summer and late spring (one out of the country) and I can't stop crying..I've been single for so long and I'm just terrified at the thought of being alone period. I know that change is good but I feel like my world is ending
Here you go young lady. heres my shoulder. Nothing wrong with a good cry!!

Please recognize one thing: The way you feel now is not the way you will feel later. At age 25 people think something is the be all and end all. It isn't. I felt that way about some things when I was young, too. Take some time to mourn their leaving and then move on. As long as you have them in your life still, that is the main thing. I met my best friend when I was 13, moved away a long time ago, and she and I are still best buds. This is a blessing for you in that you will find out what you can do on your own; it gives you the chance to find out who you are without them by meeting other people, trying new things.

Look at it as an opportunity. It's possible that your ex's presence was holding you back from finding someone.
I relocated about 8-9 years ago, about 550miles. Completely rebuilt my friends from the ground up so keep at it. Join some clubs, social groups, activities that you like etc. It's actually pretty cool meeting new friends, networking....who knows...take a yoga class and the nice lady you make friends with my have a HOT son.
So to make things even worse, I just got news about an hour ago that my other girlfriend is expecting her first kid (she's been married for a year)...I am happy for her but shocked as hell.

I do have some activity going on in my life, just nothing drastic and major for someone my age. I'm going to Jamaica in June and DR in August, I'm pursuing my MBA, just got a small promo at my job in the midst of this failing economy, I'm take small weekend getaways every 2-3 weeks, I'm taking a pole dancing class this weekend and I STILL feel complacent. My friends are getting engaged, married, having babies and moving.

I do not mean to be insensitive. Depression can be debilitating...
But why do you judge yourself based on what everyone else is doing? Do your own thing, be your own self, and you won't give a damn what anybody else is doing.

I see what you're saying and I try not to do that but it becomes hard when your all/most of your peers are getting married, starting families, moving..basically starting out the next chapters in their lives
