I trying so hard to do this. Getting ready for HUGE move, with spouse I don't like. But.. I over 60, going back to family so I sucking it up. Cannot wait to be with family as it will be distraction from HIM. May divorce once settled, I not sure. In meantime heart jumps whenever intrusive thoughts come, which is often. How deal with those thoughts? They temporarily cripple me.

Maybe you could try writing them down. Talk back to the thoughts. Sounds like there could be a bright side to all this.

Praying for you to have peace and the happiness you deserve.

Sorry, you are having these difficulties. I am older than you, and think it may be even harder to deal with life's struggles when older as less reserves, etc. I have health issues (physical, & emotional --leading to making any health issues worse!

Yes, I didn't think that I would be Struggling SO much at this age. But, life sure doesn't go the way you want it to be. My Sig. Other of 27 years passed away last Nov. It's been Devastating without him. He was my Anchor in life, and now I am So lonely, feel Anxious, Scared, and Depressed. On top of him passing, I lost the house, am now homeless & was living with relatives that are "toxic!" Right now, am living in another State alone. Trying to get Affordable Housing in place I want. Have had Anxiety since I was young, made a lot of progress over the years re. Anxiety Disorder. Have other health issues which Stress agrivated. Now, in a Setback of Anxiety/Depression. I keep "fighting," too --keep trying & hoping & praying things will improve for both of us.

I am sooo sorry. Alone in new town? Stay on this site it will help. Maybe start going to local library meet people or pick small cafe to meet others and look for support groups.
