Haven’t been feeling right lately and I can’t explain why

I’m not usually here to complain about myself
Or be a drama queen but things have been strange lately
I send my son to summer camp in Scotland , the house is silent and feel empty . It’s not the first time this happened but it hits different now . I feel old and very emotional.
Life has been rough ( guessing it’s the same for everyone ) lately feeling tiered of all of this … circus … starting to wonder what’s the point of all of this

With your specific concern about how an empty house feels different than before -
Earlier in life when we had the house to ourselves, it was an opportunity to FINALLY have some freedom to do things we needed or things we shouldn't be doing. Privacy.
But at some point when we have "done everything", it just seems, empty.

It's we*rd but yeah at some point in life, it is like our outlook shifts.

It goes by different names, maybe "mid life crisis". And yeah, it is very real.

We do wonder "Why are we here? What is the point?" We feel like we should be further in life. We start to re-evaluate things, etc.

Of course another thing lately, the absolute conneries in the media does not help.
