Anxiety

[Potatopancakes]

Experiencing anxiety depression about aging, sudden health issues, turned 80, just a shock. Am in therapy. Think it will help to hear other people's experiences. I live alone and feel isolated. So helpful to know others go through these states.

Welcome to the community. I hope you find it helpful being here

Aging certainly comes with all kinds of worries doesn't it. Happy belated 80th 🎂

Are you able to join a senior center? There are so many things offered, maybe you could find something so you don't feel so isolated?

❤️🐬

Dear Potatopancakes,

I’m only 60 and feeling the way you are right now. So know that you’re not alone in this.

I’m happy that you’re in therapy and I hope that it is helping you. I need to get the nerve up to start therapy again.

I’ve just been to down to care about anything. I’ve struggled with depression/anxiety for the last 30 years. Yes I’ve had good years in there but my meds stop working and I’m back to square one.

You said that you live alone, that can be very hard and lonely. I hope that you have family or a friend or two to help you out.

Hugs to you!

🙏🙏😊
