I am a recently retired property manager myself so fully aware of the hopeless situation myself and so many other women are in.&nbsp;<BR />Have been housesitting full time for over 2 years now, unpaid of course.</P><P>I drink too much wine, am 8 kgs overweight and feel like I am going nowhere. My personal stuff is in storage and I wonder if I will ever see it again or be able to afford to have it moved to Brisbane area from Far North Qld, where I last worked. No family to speak of so Easter is never a happy time for me. My adult children chose to not continue contact decades ago after a family rift. Been single now for 20 years and refuse to be with anyone just because he has a house! Most of my relationships were just outright failures, wrong choices.</P> Sun, 20 Apr 2025 16:03:49 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/homeless-older-women/m-p/609654#M34525 Nomads-Land 2025-04-20T16:03:49Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/homeless-older-women/m-p/609658#M34527 <P>Hi NL.</P><P>Just want to say im hearing you, i too had a&nbsp; very restless night full on awake since about 1 am and up at 4 .
