Kavetha,

Thank you for your response . I have had a full medical. I am taking vitamin D, folic acid, iron and omega 3. I also didn’t mention I flatlined emotionally. No sadness, no laughing, no sympathy. No emotion. I used to be called happy go lucky. I would really cry at any movie that had anything sad to do with children or animals.

Pas far as change in lifestyle, I think this is the main trigger. I raised three children the last is going off to college this August . My husband and I closed a business we had for about 19 years. I closed a retail store I opened and ran for three years. All of a sudden I was retired and my children were independent . I felt lonely, bored and was no longer needed. i looked for work but for the first time in my life I was not getting hired for every job I applied for. That crushed my confidence. I live in a very suburban type area. You just don’t see people unless you go to a store. I have now just begun to accept this is a new stage of life for me. I need to explore it with an open mind. I need to settle into it. I am sure at some point I will start to volunteer and feel like I am being productive again. And most of all I need to be patient.

I will work on that meditation. And again thank you for your insight.
