Lost in space
I'm new here. This is my first post. I have quite severe anxiety and depression. I can't really afford a therapist anymore so I figured I would try this. A little about my current situation, 2 years ago I left my wife of 13 years, she was addicted to prescription medicine after her battle with cancer from several years back. I moved to a new state where I didn't know anyone just as the pandemic started. I have since found someone who is perfect. She is honestly my other half but she works for a company that does touring shows, concerts, theater etc. She just went out on tour and now I am all alone without friends or family with in 12 hours of me. I honestly feel like life is passing me by (I'm 42). I feel completely alone in this world and it feels like no matter how hard I try I am nothing more than an afterthought to everyone.

Thank you for sharing with us. We are here for you! I love that you found this site, it is a really amazing way to connect with people who can support you and understand you. Forum posts are great too, but you might also enjoy finding a listener or even a few of them who you can connect with 1-1 as often as you like. And the nice thing is that you can even search for a listener who takes topics such relationship stress, loneliness, etc. If you are on the app, just go to "browse listeners" and on the far right top of the screen there is a little rectangular box, click on that and then you will see filters, if you select "category" you choose listeners who take the topic you want to discuss.
You are on the right path! Glad you are here!
