My two kids are grown, one is married and the other is in his last year of college - so I really don't feel like I am needed anymore. Just been feeling very down the past couple of months and I can't seem to shake the idea that suicide is an option.

You are important.
It sounds like you are suffering from depression and anxiety.
You deserve to feel happy and secure and to look forward to the time you have with yourself to do the things you enjoy - even the opportunity to venture out and make a few new friends...
But depression and anxiety can make this seem hopeless and impossible. I understand.
Have you ever been to a CoDA meeting? I have found them helpful when I don't know how to be alone.

You might also try to get a doctors appointment to consider anti-depressants.
Sending many supportive thoughts your way...
We are here. Please keep in touch.
