Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

I drag myself to cook and do some daily chores and cleaning the house.

I wish there was some way I could give him some years of my life.

He had wanted to travel and see many places after his retirement. We travelled a lot last year with my sister and brother in law. But my husband wanted to go on a foreign trip, the possibility of this seems bleak now.

What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?

I will be 60 soon. I am not happy, nothing seems to make me happy and I feel down and low.

I now and then break down. Somehow my eyes just fill with tears. Even as I'm writing this I'm crying.

I know life is a journey and we are all temporary on this earth yet I feel heartbroken.

I feel life is so unfair to good people.

The only small light in this whole thing is that we are a little more closer now than we were these many years.

For the most part of the day I just feel so tired and listless.

If you are a young person who is facing some small crisis then it's normal to feel as you are feeling temporarily. But you need to motivate yourself and snap out of the above feeling else you may fall into depression.

The road ahead seems dark and lonely to me

I have lost interest in life itself ever since my husband was diagnosed with an incurable illness this January.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

So to answer your question, if you are facing some crisis in your life, health, career or family it's normal to feel as you are feeling especially if you are above 50.

Nothing seems worth it anymore.
