I retired 18 months ago, it was a full on senior teaching post, I would regularly work 10 or more hours a day. Weekends would be spent reading, catching up on sleep and housework. Work-Life balance did not exist. I retired through choice, my career pension is good, everything should be good for me, but I feel lonely and depressed and totally lack energy. I do a bit of private teaching and have volunteered in a primary school, I go to a music group once a week, but if the rest of my life is to be like this - well not sure I can cope. It lacks purpose, I don't know what to do. I feel that no one cares whether I get out of bed in the mornings or not. I am not one for joining groups etc. I get a local free magazine & look at the clubs etc every month but I see nothing that interests me. Please tell me it gets better. There are things I can do around the house and garden but just getting going is a real issue.
