What wrong with me!

Aug 02, 2007 18:27

I am a happy go lucky person,generally! The life of the party.The lady with the different hair. The liberal. Laid back person on life. And suddenly after going thru "EMPTY NEST SYDROME" I feel useless. I cant believe I am allowing myself to go thru this.Is it menopause,is it age,it is just me? I utilize the cliche of "what is life,and the pursuit ( Read more... )

Nothing is wrong with you at all. I am going through that too, even though my kids left the nest years ago. Its like life changes its course on a dime, and we have to start to put all the pieces back together. Im peri-menopausal and I want to believe that has alot to do with it. I havent found any answers how to change things, but getting interested in a hobby, friends, anything will help. Keeping busy and not dwelling too much on it, and everything seems to fall back into place somewhow. Happiness returns.

Thanks for responding,first of all!Life has changed its course on a dime, and i cant get enough change together to make a new more exciting course! I feel so fatigued and "basically not really needed anymore. Ya know as I write this I think if someone said this to me Id say" You are just going thru another stage of life" Not to worry! But when I am experiecing it it is so overwhelming. I do agree with you, about new friends,a hobby (I love mosaic tables and such)I JUST HAVE TO GET THE BALLS(I MEAN GALL TO GET OUT A DO IT!!! oNCE AGAIN THANKS FOR HEARING ME OUT!!! nOELLA

I have gone through this also. In my most recent case, my son who is now 27 had been living with me for three years and moved out the first of October. I was very lethargic, not getting anything done, and then I realized I was grieving my son leaving. Once I realized that I was able to get a handle on it. But, it took me a good month to get there and this is not the first time I have had my children leave home. So, you may be doing low-level grieving. I hope you are feeling better soon!
