Lost

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time, remember day by day! I think you are doing great!

Is there someone in your life that you can open up to? I talk mostly to my therapist about problems and that makes me feel better. I can't relate to the empty nest feeling as I have a little one at home. She's autistic. I'm not sure if she'll ever leave the nest when she gets older.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It must be hard to see your kid leave. I hope you're ok ❤

@lovingWriter7520 Hi. I’m sorry you’re feeling so. It’s hard to lose a role. We base a lot of our sense of self on roles. But you are not your roles. So, while the old structure is missing, you remain. You can build new roles into your life, or perhaps, start looking at the wonderful freedom of not having to. It sounds like you have some regrets, but that is pretty normal in the course of life. Don’t beat yourself up, and perhaps find ways to build new connections. Lots of good folks here to give you support as you navigate this new situation.

Writer :

I am extending an invitation to join me in the Sharing Circle chat room !😊

I have children still young. I don’t know how that feels like what you are going through. Hopefully, you find ways to heal your emptiness feeling.

So sorry to hear you’re going through this.I hope you feel better soon! Maybe take a vacation and have some fun! :)

Thank you all, I just feel misplaced… I have the opportunity to be with the other male in my life who lives a fair distance away, I’m just to scared to do that. I just want to go to sleep and wake up with a getvthings done mindset and live for me, but I can’t seem to do that.
