Empty Nest Syndrome - CoMt

I am in a bad way.  My baby is graduating high school this coming May and will go off to college at the end of summer and amid all the Prom and graduation planning, I have been hit with depression and crying jags that I cannot get out of.  It is so awful.  I don't know what I'm going to do without her.  It's been me and her for the last several years (when my son moved out) and my whole life has been her.  I don't know how to be without her.  I just thought maybe if I posted about it, I would feel better.  So that's what I'm doing.  I've been a mom most of my adult life and I don't know how to be anything else.  I am riddle with anxiety about her.  I'm not sleeping.  I cry at the drop of a hat.  I feel utterly heartbroken.  All I do is sit and think about how time is ticking away and it is torture!

Thanks for listening.
