Why do I feel sad and lonely then cry?

I feel I don’t really have a sense of worth anymore. No one really needs me. When one feels not needed and forgotten, loneliness and sadness seems to follow. My kids have their own lives now and I don’t see them much. Friends are more like acquaintances these days, as I only really see them in work or business settings. I get up everyday to go to work and pay my bills, but there is not much joy in my life anymore. At 53 years old I know the best days are gone. I really try my best to not feel down, but it’s a losing battle most times. I know there’s a lot of people that feel this way. I would love to hear how others deal with it.

I read your comment with interest. I have many of the same feelings as you do. There is one great difference, though. I will be 90 years old next month. I lost my much loved husband 3 years ago and still grieving. At 53 I felt the whole world was my oyster. It is concerning that you feel this way at such a young age. I urge you to seek counselling.
