What is wrong with me

Hi, I just feel since I hit 51 everything has gone wrong, menopause hit, lost a group of really good friends, work gets me down, I'm on my own so don't tend to do much on my days off, haven't had a break from work for 2 years, struggle financially as I'm  only casual, it's just all getting on top of me as well as try ing to be there for my 80 year old dad, it's come to th ee point where I feel like nothing I do is right or good enough 😔

Thank you that would be great if you could give me some info on these things. 

I know there are some walking groups but not a lot here in Tassie & most are at times that don't suit because I'm at work.

Thanks for the support, it's easier to talk to people I don't really know I seem to open up more 😊

what about meeting people within an online space? there are many groups that do things over platforms like Zoom etc.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. As for online, I get very wary about who to trust & who is genuine, takes me a long  time get to know people & then trust them having been hurt so much in my life by people.

I have joined a ladies group where somebody suggests or organises things for us to go to, but most of the time it's costly & I feel I can never afford to go to most things, we've caught up for a meal, which was good & a movie night, but the rest have been a bit out of my budget, it's a shame that  the cost of living is so hard these days & I suppose that's just another worry for me. Paying rent, then all the other costs of living & trying to also treat myself occasionally with regular massages e.t.c there's not much left for anything else
