Feeling so sad as approach 27 with no career/love

I turn 27 by the end of the year, and it's so sad that I'm single, no kids, no little family I’ve built for myself. It’s like a panic switch flipped. I haven’t dated in ages because I was stuck in this dead-end job that drained me dry.

Now I look back and realize I let the latter half of my twenties fly by moping over dumb stuff when I should’ve been trying to find my person or at least building something that felt like mine. It’s stupid but I keep thinking that chance is gone like I messed everything up. Regret’s been eating at me, and I can’t shake this funk. I just don’t know how to pull myself out of it.

Anyone else felt this panic hit at a certain age? Like you’re falling behind on some timeline? Need all the advice I can get.
