It’s hard and funny by some but I’m 44 but I feel like I’m 60 coz of not having friends it’s so depressing I’m not use to having nothing at all I’m blessed still have a partner that cares for me and a daughter or else I would have given up already.

Its not our fault to feel the way we do. I also I'm blessed with a good partner 3 daughters a roof over my head. But i feel sad most of the time I feel that I have nothing to look forward too. I truly hope we start feeling better.

Same here it’s hard not having friends all of a sudden and plus I didn’t grew up around family I was adopted by my grandparents now their gone too long time it’s hard coz they were the only ones who cared and shown me so much love treated me like their own kid I wish I can bring them back especially now but can’t I miss them so much

I often have nothing to look forward to. I actually haven't been out in2 months to try n save money. We are low on money and my husband shops cause he spends less than me when he goes shopping etc. I'm going stir crazy though..hating my life and most days wish I could not wake up. I have anxiety and major depression

I understand your pain. I'm 52 years old, lost my mother 6 years ago and trust me it may seam childish but I still feel lost without her. There are days I wish she took me with her.

I lost my Mom to a bad stroke when I was 43.. I still feel that way too like why do I have to still be here. I miss her and I guess always will. Its been very hard not being able to talk to her and go places with her

I would very much like to be your friend. Sometimes its hard talking to family. I have 2 sisters they live 1 hour from me. But its hard to express myself. Its very lonely sometimes even though I have my husband and my daughter.

I wish I was 44 again, I also have no kids, I do have see a husband but worry often he may pass away cause he can't get the health care he needs. I am 60 and mentally feel sharper than I was at 44. I still work full time but worry about losing my job cause of the current federal administration. Please feel better yo have a lot of things going for you.
