โI've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was can not drive anymore. Now I sleep most nights. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.โ
โTo anyone starting to feel alone as they get older: it's hard when the places you used to go close down. But there are still people out there. Try a phone line, a church group, or even just saying hello to a neighbour. It might feel small, but it helps.โ
โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Joining a class gave me somewhere to be every Thursday. It helped. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. God willing it gets easier.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason so it doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong and try not to make big decisions on the worst days. I learned that the hard way.โ
