Missing my son.

[LaurieMaltese]

I am new to this group. I am trying to get support for my ongoing depression and anxiety. I have not been able to go to the Dr or therapy for a while. My son who will be 21 moved away to Las Vegas last year and I have not been able to get over it. I am not functioning due to missing him so much and feeling like I'm not needed anymore. I'm sure others have gone through this. Any support or suggestions would help a lot.

Welcome to the group. Glad you are here! Yes, it is hard when we feel not needed by the ones we raised and loved and were needed by for so long. I have been there, and sometimes am again. I have been taking magnesium and ginseng to calm my body mind and spirit and get rid of those sticky negative thoughts. Also, I get out and get involved. I do volunteer work, take classes, enlarge my territory so to speak. Get busy, so you don't feel so at a loss. He still loves and misses you but is busy himself I'm sure. =) You are in an open field with so many places you can go that sometimes it feels like you are at a loss as to what to do, where to go. =) You got this!
