You have had some great replies to your original post, which really is a cry for help. Just know that you are not alone -
RETIREMENT IS VERY DIFFICULT for some, and I was one of them. On the other hand, my husband slid into retirement. We had a second home on a golf course and the Pro had been after him for sometime to go and work in the pro shop when he retired. He loved that and I was left at home cooking, cleaning, gardening and getting more and more bored. Then we discovered TV and moved here permanently - another move to get used to!
My suggestion to you is to apply at Publix. They are a great company to work for and they give you hours that you really want. I believe you only have to do two four hour periods in a week, and the pay is not terrible either. On the plus side is working with people, talking and laughing with the other employees, talking to customers - some you will like and some you will think crawled out from under a rock! Working in Publix or some other store, will give you the needed reason to get up in the morning and have somewhere to go, it will allow you time to adjust and time to find something else you may like to do.
Time will gradually allow you to enjoy your retirement. Now I love my life, love my home, enjoy my friends. It's all good and I wish it could last forever!
