Unmarried MLC at 38

"Where are the advice columns for the never-married types in their late 30's?"

I think you are writing it. You can be assured that others who follow you will thank you. For now you might want to first tackle the guilt because it should be the easiest to address. How "good" your life is or isn't has absolutely nothing to do with how you are feeling. It's like feeling guilty because how tall you are--that is completely irrelevant. You will get through this though it will likely take time. For the vast, vast majority of people you will exit it in a better place with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

If depression is involved do not feel that you have to tackle this alone. Trained professionals and a good support network are highly recommended.

If you haven't had a physical examination since you started feeling this way then that is suggested as well. There can be medical causes (thyroid is one example) that can be at the root of these.

Good luck and I look forward to your path of discovery.
