I feel as life is passing me by, and I don t seem to enjoy much anymore, and yes I am on Zoloft and see a therapist. I use to always be happy before I retired. Help please, Lynn

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I do understand. The condition you are in comes across with every person who retires. This usually couples with 'mpty nest syndrome' where children also leaves them and settles somewhere else. Naturally retired person feels lonely and confused. He also thinks and worries about glittering past. But, nothing can be done in this stage, because retirement is a reality. Please remember, You did not retire from life. Many people like you engage themselves in social activities / hobbies etc to keep them busy and active. You may also choose such a path. Best option is to consult a psychologist for counseling.
