Hi I'm not sure how serious this is, but I am 54 yrs old and recently went through a breakup with a man I lived with for 6yrs. It was wonderful but it ended-he just couldn't commit. It was such a shock to everyone including me but I decided to carry on and moved out immediately. I have a good job-same one for over 10 years in insurance sales, not wealthy by any means so it's a bit of a struggle but not that bad. I just can't seem to get over this and I am feeling down all the time now, I seemed to be doing okay for awhile but now it's worse. I have some stress from work, my kids whom are older but you know -still create their own problems which become yours. Because of my job I am not that close in distance to my immediate family-two sisters, and my parents are older and live a distance away and I don't want to let them know I'm not doing so good lately. I am not a really social person and my best girlfriend has moved far away. My kids are good kids but they count on me for support, so I guess I don't let them know either how much this is affecting me. I looked for a support group but this is small town and I couln't find any, also tried volunteer work which I could do when I'm not a work _i work about 45 hrs per week. but I haven't gotten a response from anyone yet. Again it's a smaller town> Just feeling horribly hopeless and unable to cope with the slightest bit of added stress. I wanted to book an appt with my doctor-who is booked up for 2 months but I don\t know what to say. I am scared of sinking into a hole I can't climb out of and my life is certainly not that bad at all, if only I could see it that way. Thanks whoever is reading this, it felt a little better just typing this out. Somewhat.
