New Chapter

Hi everyone,
I hope it's okay to post a new topic. It's my first time here, and I think I could use your imput.

One year ago, my husband of 43 years died, and my sister, who has been living with us for 12 years, just moved into assisted living. I deal with panic, anxiety and depression, but I've been on venlafaxine and buspirone for years and have done pretty well.

Usually, I'm busy taking care of the home and farm, but today, I just couldn't face doing much. Feeling paralyzed emotionally, not sure what the problem is. I have lots of projects that I could be working on, but somehow, all I want to do is veg out. I'm not lonely. Actually, I enjoy being alone so I can work on my various projects without interruption. My adult son and daughter call me all the time, and everything is fine in the family. What's wrong with me?

Thank you for listening!

Rural VT Girl, sometimes it can be a good thing to not do a lot and just sit back and relax. That way you don't overwork yourself.

Maybe by not doing much, it could make you feel better. And it may re-energize you to the point where you start to enjoy taking on tasks once again.
