I need someone to talk too...

[GoldieLocs8973]

Hi, newbie here. I found this site while looking for a Support Group to join. I'm suffering from Severe Depression and Anxiety. I don't have insurance so I can't see a Therapist right, reason I am looking for a Support Group. I'm 54 and have been Separated for 7 yrs from my Husband. I'm so exhausted all the time, my home is a disaster and my head is a disaster as well. I don't know how or where to begin to turn it around. I'm hoping someone else has been through this and can give me some advise as to start somewhere? I am looking forward to chatting and making new friends as I sure do need a friend right now. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hello. I'm sorry to hear that you're in a depression. You took the first step by reaching out and for that you should be proud.

I believe you start with one foot in front of the other. Search your heart and really ask " what do I need?" Start focusing on what you can change and accept the things you can't.

If you really want to speak with a therapist, try your public health department, or call 211 for a reference.

Take care😊

Hi there, I'm almost 61 and separated from the ex for 18 months. I would suggest not putting anymore undue pressure on yourself to sort things, it's quite enough when there's pressure from someone else. I have found it a blessed relief to be able to sort things in my own time and within my limitations.

I guess the hardest thing was trying to find a new routine, but you've found that after 7 years no?

Hi, thanks for the reply. It's nit the Separation that has me Depressed we actually get along better now. I don't know why I'm feeling the way I do? I do have several health problems but not sure that's it either? I just feel Stuck!! I just can't bring myself to move forward and complete anything or even start anything. :(. I look at this mess in my house everyday and tell myself I want to start here and get this done. But before I realize it the day is gone and I somehow talked myself out of it? Then that's when I Shame myself and crawl back in bed. It's a visous cycle and I just keep spinning...

Have to agree with Lets_heal. So sorry for what you are going through. I have not been in your exact situation but want you to get the help that you need. There are some free online counseling sites also. You really do need to talk this whole thing out with someone that you trust. Also call 211 for a reference.
