Do you suffer from the stress of being single?

Do you suffer from the stress of being single? While you might put on a front that you enjoy the single lifestyle, there are many ways that being single can also put stress on your life. Review the following situations.

• You worry about money because you are living on a single income or because you do not have very much in savings.
• You feel overwhelmed by being a single parent trying to manage all at once— from taking care of your kids, working, cleaning the house, cooking, and running errands to starting, engaging, or maintaining a romantic relationship.
• You feel like you are surrounded by nothing but couples.
• You feel lonely more often than not.
• You obsess about finding someone to be with.
• Your family, friends, and coworkers are pressuring you to settle down.
• You dread Valentine’s Day more than Tax Day.
• You want to get out more, but you don’t want to join the “singles” groups.
• You want to connect and find a meaningful relationship, but you are not sure where to start.
• You’ve gone out on plenty of first dates, but none have panned out to be worth a second date.
• You jump into bad relationships in order to avoid being single.
• You are so burned out from previous relationships that you dread being in a new one yet hate being alone.

If you are experiencing these feelings or others, then individual counseling can help. Utilizing a variety of approaches to therapy, we can work with you to help you strengthen your confidence in preparing for a relationship or reducing your stress of being single.
