Although I was once successful, now I'm not working and running out of money. I am also all alone. I dread each day. I honestly cannot even remember what it feels like to be happy or content.

I am a couple of years younger than you. Yet, I was (in the middle of my golden ages) actually standing on the bridge over the river called life.
Heart broken, told by so called experts that I was gone, no friends, nothing could help me… So why did I not jump in the river?
One night I had a visit by a lady. My guardian angel. – She was not happy on me and together with her I am today alive… A Scary Scarecrow but yet I am living a life.
I know you want to continue your life my friend… If not else so for my sake.
Let’s walk around here on Yahoo Answers help people with our advices from life experiences. – If not else we might help someone.
What you would need is someone to talk too. Or, like I did, writing down things that makes you happy.
Just have in mind that as long as you are alive nothing is impossible. Everything can happen. Money is a lot but by hard work and imagination you will handle that point too. – Because you are the best.
it happens to everyone, but as long as you have your life you are not a failure
Lmao you fail at life.
Well, I don’t know how "normal" it is, but I kind of felt that way too when I was your age. I was in a real rut, hated my job, my husband left me for someone he met on the internet, lost my house and had to move to a one bed room apartment, and probably some other stuff that I don’t now recall. So I decided to do some volunteer work. I chose to work for a 911 ambulance service but had to go to school to get my EMT. Once I did that, I just kept on going and now I am a paramedic, I have a degree, I have a great job, I meet all kinds of nice people, my family is proud of me, and I have a real purpose in life instead of just slogging through the day and doing a repeat tomorrow. Go sign up for a class at your local community college or adult education group. Any class. Anything that interests you. It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and you will be surprised at the world that suddenly opens up to you. Good luck!
It’s obvious you’re suffering from anhedonia associated with a situational (and possibly clinical) depression. While it’s understandable that being alone and the loss of your work and money would make most people depressed, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t seek treatment. No desire to live can spiral to thoughts of suicide. If you cannot afford to seek psychiatric treatment, you should look into other treatment therapies. There are tons of online sites that offer support groups. You can also call your local fire department. Many have lists of free clinics and other resources. Here’s one site about anhedonia to get your started: http://www.mental-health-matters.com/articles/article.php?artID=266
Good luck, feel free to email if I can help…
yep, off and on, but i try to keep moving on
youre suffering from lack of Jesus. Get saved. Accept Jesus as your lord and savior. he wants to help you. youve been on this earth for 50 years, every breath you take is a blessing. the devil is on a rampage now, telling everyone that suicide is the answer. but let me tell you…if you were worth dying for, then Jesus is definitely worth living for!
