Problem with empty nest syndrom/depression?

I am looking for anyone who can offer some good advice. I'm so sad. I have empty nest syndrom and my kids aren't even gone yet! I dread when they will leave. I was so depressed when my youngest left for college .. even knowing she would be home almost every weekend and back in the summer! I enjoy my kids so much that when they are gone .. even for a short time, I'm so sad. I miss them so bad it hurts so much! My daughter left for a week vacation and I can't stop worrying and crying and missing her; My oldest married son lives over an hour away and I rarely get to see him. I don't want to interfere with his new wife and his life; I'm very happy for him, but I miss him so bad. I would visit him, but don't want to interfere. The pain is unbearable. I probably need psychological help, but aside from that, any suggestions on how to make this pain less hurtful? Btw, my husband drives a truck and is gone all week too; I only get to see him on the weekend, so I miss him so much too; I feel so alone; I have dogs, but it's just not the same. Any help for me or shall I just commit myself to some crazy home?

My 18 yr old daughter moved out, she only gave me a two day notice of this move. Now all I do is cry, I miss her so much! She has been gone for a week now. How do you deal with the Empty Nest Syndrome I am going threw? I have 4 children, it was easier when the first 2 moved out, they finished college first. This one just started collage 2 weeks ago and now gone :( I don't even know her new address, her friends moved her when I was at work. I have one left at home whom is 15, I dread the day the youngest one leaves. Any serious advise would be nice.


I'm 50 years old and no desire to live because I'm a failure. Does anyone else my age feel that way?

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.
