Just want to vent I think.
DD at university, it took a while for me to adjust to just me and DH rattling around. Felt I was adapting, but.
Mum died horribly, we were close and I thought once DD grew up I’d spend more time with her, but it wasn’t to be.
I’ve had various health scares and feel much more aware of my mortality than before. Menopause is here too and I feel lethargic, depressed and fatter.
I work with people who are dying, death and stress is all around.
It’s been lovely to have DD back for the summer but she is living a busy life and out all the time. I don’t sleep well until I hear the key in the door. She’s just dumped her lovely long term boyfriend and I feel anxious about her safety while she embraces her independence by staying out late, clubbing etc.
It’s just exhausting. I am totally unmotivated to have people over or make plans.
Has anyone managed to crawl out of this slump?
