Empty Nest and Mental Illness (BPD, depression, Anxiety and OCD)

[butterflyhome77]

Hi everyone i’m new here.  It’s always just been me and my daughter, I raised her on my own.  I’ve always suffered from mental illness but having her with me helped to keep the demons at bay.  She moved in with her boyfriend a while ago now and my mental health is declining rapidly.  I miss her so much.  I’m having more and more mental health crisis and this year has been the worst ever.  I’m waiting to see CMHT and i’m hoping that they will be able to help me to move forward, but at the moment i’m just in limbo, I know that i’m still a parent but I feel completely lost without her.
