Hi neens. A very warm welcome here. Your hubby has the right idea about setting daily goals, unfortunately, he isn't you. When he was there and you were his carer, that was your role and from the sounds of it, you were quite happy. Now things have changed and you are back to where you feel 'lost' and alone. Before his operation, did you have things that kept you interested? Obviously, if you did, most of it would've been placed on the 'backburner' as caring for hubby would've been quite involved. I think your hubby's suggestion of goals is perhaps him trying to help you re-build your life so you won't feel quite so depressed and alone. Perhaps you could try slowly getting back into doing something for you. Do you read, are you a keen gardener. I am involved with a volunteer job that keeps me pretty busy. Depression can stop you 'picking up the pieces' as you often place them in the too hard basket. With your AD's your Dr appears to have this monitored so your biggest issue or challenge is re-building your life, which was put on hold. Perhaps have a talk with your Dr about where you could do something for you, join a club or meet friends for coffee/lunch. Once you get your AD's sorted, then you could look at a project which would give you an interest. In the meantime, keep posting if you need to, as we are here 24/7.
