Feeling extremely exhausted

I am new here and wanted to share my experiences in a community where people understand.

Most days, I go through the motions of working full-time, doing chores, running errands, attending doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and paying bills and rent. Living alone means all these responsibilities are mine to manage. While I do what needs to be done, it has become increasingly difficult for me to care about them anymore-except for my job, which is essential.

I am 60 years old and find myself not where I expected to be in life. This sense of unfulfilled expectations weighs heavily on me daily. To seek more happiness, I research various opportunities online. For instance, owning a home would make me happier, but it seems out of rech right now. I have been working on improving my credit so that one day I might qualify for a loan to buy a manufactured home, though the process is complex and uncertain.

There are many fine details in obtaining what I want, making it challenging to see progress. While I know nothing changes overnight, sometimes it feels like just once I should experience some success.

In addition to this, I am working on writing a poetry book as a way to stay positive. It may help keep me going through difficult times.

Overall, I live with unhappiness and feel tired of being unhappy. Reading quotes about finding joy in what you have can be encouraging, but for many people, including myself, achieving contentment is more complicated than it seems on paper.
