Does anyone else just feel like they're just existing? Nothing really brings you joy? For 6 years now I’ve been going through this and I have no emotions I’ve been single for over a year. I have two kids, both daughters are adults, and I don't have any grandkids. I just feel so empty.

I enjoy my job which I had to leave off and on because of menopausal induced anxiety. My anxiety is better with time. I was a really sick woman I couldn’t leave the house for over a year.

I feel like is this it?

I’m 53 and when I am alone I feel I should be with people but then when it comes down to it I really don’t have much to say. So I stay home. I just can’t be content I feel so alone but I'm not - I have my mom living with me and I do see my oldest daughter everyday because she’s my neighbour. I am so blessed but just can’t find joy. I don't feel myself and I don't know when I will come out of this stupor. 

I am told this is menopause - but how long should I just let this go on?
