anxiety and insomnia

Hi, I recently sold my home I had for 37 years, to try to find our "forever home". 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.

Guest,

Thanks for reaching out and being honest.

I am close in age to and find change hard even if I wanted that change.

You have a few issues, I wonder what is the most important to you?

Could you show your psychologist what you wrote here .?

How did you feel after sharing your story here?

Can you talk to your long term partner about how you feel.?
