Unfortunately I have created a situation where I feel unable to cope with anything now. I am 69 and feel like I have made the biggest mistake I could make. I live with my long-term partner in her home so I am not homeless, but I have been catastrophizing everything possible, and having insomnia fairly often. It feels like it will never end . I have ongoing work commitments which I am afraid I will not be able to do if I can't find a way to deal with my feelings . I come from a family that has had major issues ( my parents were both dead by the time I was 19 , father from suicide ) and so I feel I am more susceptible to these issues. I don't know what to do. I have a psychologist , who has been helpful, but I feel my world has fallen apart.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 06 Oct 2025 02:51:29 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/anxiety-and-insomnia/m-p/614533#M55880 Guest_21378479 2025-10-06T02:51:29Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/anxiety-and-insomnia/m-p/614541#M55881 <P>Guest,</P><P>Thanks for reaching out and being honest.</P><P>I am close in age to and find change hard even if I wanted that change.</P><P>You have a few issues, I wonder what is the most important to you?</P><P>Could you show your psychologist what you wrote here .?</P><P>How did you feel after sharing your story here?</P><P>Can you talk to your long term partner about how you feel.?</P> Mon, 06 Oct 2025 05:16:54 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/anxiety-and-insomnia/m-p/614541#M55881 quirkywords 2025-10-06T05:16:54Z
