Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Really I keep telling myself this should not be a problem. But .....I have more free time on my hands that I have ever had before.And there is not a lot to worry about these days either. But I can't seem to enjoy it because of how it came about. You know.....no longer being a caregiver. It just does not feel normal.
I hesitated posting this. I know it's not a serious problem. I have been trying to work through this with a lot of self-talk. But it ain't working :P

I think I understand what you are saying.
For me I don't do the things I should be doing, thus giving me too much "free time". For me I think that it is part of the grieving process, a part that I'm not handling very well.
When changes occur in our lives, we are often beset with a period of loss/emptiness/confusion. I am sure that time and your awareness will give you a new routine. It will come to you.
EXTRA TIME IS A BLESSING IN DISQUISE.
ENJOY IT AND TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY LIKE PAINTING OR EMBROIDERY.
IT WILL RELAX YOUR SYSTEM AND ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY.

I went through a period of total inertia after my Mom passed.
On one hand I was relieved I did not have to worry about her any more, but on the other hand, but on the other hand...
ell it's hard to explain what I thought the next phase of my life should look like!
For me it took just under three months.
We began by getting things fixed around the house.
Then I began to focus on my horse and my riding more.
So don't worry. You will figure something out.
And you do make a very cute kitty!
