Feeling alone and out of place

[Grehmattter2]

Im widowed. And my kids are adults one is at home. I am struggling with just being alone not having any one to speak to. Find comfort in. I can't afford therapy. At least not good therapy. They just hand me pills.

sorry about your circumstances. therapists don’t prescribe pills let alone hand them out. what therapy are you in?

[Grehmattter2 in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

I just went to one my primary suggested.

I’m a little confused. Sorry. you went to ‘one’ as in a psychologist referred by your general practitioner?

Welcome to the community.

In your bio you describe yourself as an old lady You are far from old.

What do you do to keep yourself busy? Do you work? Have hobbies?

I work, I took some time off to do a full physical. And there was no good news I had a small stroke I never knew it. Only reason I found out is because I had a MRI done for nuro. So now I'm over thinking it. While shutting down over been in the house 4 days straight. Looking at old pictures and I can see my eye lid drop on one side o have low set eyes naturally so most wouldn't notice.... But my mind has been like this long sentence just going like madness

I'm very sorry that you suffered a stroke. Naturally that would cause anxiety to escalate, it's very frightening.

We are here for you. You are not alone

perhaps you might want to join a bereavement group. It helped me after my mom passed. I lived with my mother. So I was used to having someone in the house with me.
