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

If much of your life involves caring for your son,
perhaps it might be time to start thinking about what you'd like to do when he's an adult and leaves to build his future.

It's okay to be emotional, even if sometimes painful. Emotions are a guide that something may need to change.
Do you need more friends or companionship?
Do you need to be more engaged in projects with others?
Would it help to have a pet?

Does you home feel comforting and welcoming?
What could you do to make it more convenient, efficient, comfortable, or beautiful - what could give you moments of repeated joy?

What do you think is most important about life, or in life?
What skills or talents do you have that could contribute to that aspect of life?
What could you learn or develop to prepare you for that role?

Or,
do you have any hobbies that could turn professional without sacirificing the enjoyment of them?
