Moving on with life???

Moving on with life???

Hi,

I am 48 and broke up with my fiancee 6 months ago... I have been struggling with anxiety and depression ever since... I have shared care of a 16 year old from a prior relationship... My fiance had 2 children and we were planning a child... She brought into my life everything I ever wanted, family, another child, life, fun, but she also didn't follow through on promises and didn't live up to some of the compromises we agreed too... I made my fair share of mistakes too, I have learned a lot since... I feel I blew my last chance at happiness and a family and a life and now I am back single again and feel like I will never find another person and am terrified of ending my life alone... All my gut plans and hopes and dreams have also gone so I feel very lost and directionless and am still struggling with depression while trying to put on a brave face every day... I don't do the things I used to enjoy, I don't enjoy them any more... I just feel like I am existing each day and not living and my life won't get better again... Any help, thoughts, support would be appreciated... I feel completely lost...

Hey @Sephski ,

I'm sorry to hear what has just happened. It sounds very tough for one to sit alone with.

It sounds like you have invested a lot into this relationship, and had your hopes and dreams set on it.

At this time, do you have someone you can speak to?

If you want, you are welcome to speak to one of our counsellors on 1800 187 263 (M-F 10am-10pm AEDT).

Were you able to every speak to your fiancee about what was not working in the relationship?

Looking forward to speaking to you soon, tyme
