Feeling like life is over

[Nannydi]

I'm really having a hard time dealing with things right now. I have to say goodbye to my daughter tomorrow and won't see her for a long time. She took a job in Amsterdam and is leaving next week. I've come to rely on her a lot since my dad died. He passed away a little over a year ago and my three sisters do not speak to me anymore. My mom has moved in with one of my sisters and I don't get to see her either. I feel so totally alone, like my life is over and I really don't want to go on anymore. How do I end this? The depression is unbearable, I have no one to talk to. i have social anxiety so I have no friends to talk to. My job is babysitting for two small children, so I don't even have anyone to talk to there. I've tried everything to get together with my sisters but they don't care. Two of them live together and mom lives with the other. They all have each other. I'm in another state and literally alone. My daughter leaving is more than I can handle. I turned 60 this year and feel like my life is over. Anyone have suggestions for how I can get past this and feel better. I just want to cry all the time. Where can I find a friend to talk to?

I’m 58 and feel that way a lot. My daughters live across the country from me. The empty nest has been devastating for me. I was a stay at home mom and can relate to the feeling that my life ifs over since my kids left home. It is so painful sometimes. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to and the rest of my life will just be a steady decline. I just want you to know that you are not alone in having the feelings you have. Message me if you would like to talk.
