I just feel like I've been very lost in the dark when it comes to that.
I feel very alone.

You are not alone, nor are you the 'only'.
There are times when we all 'just get tired'. Doesn't everyone?
Therapy and time [age] helped a lot. I highly recommend therapy if you're not.
Often therapy let me know I wasn't nuts and it was okay to experience my feelings. Getting the crap out into the open where I could deal with it. Unloading troubles with another person can lighten the feelings. When I felt lost and in the dark, my therapist held out a 'comforting hand in the darkness' and let me know that I was okay. Sometimes I was unable to pin point the cause, and therapists just have a way to help me do that.
Through therapy I learned some skills/tools, and come up with some of my own to put in my little bag of tricks.
I came here, before going to a therapist this time, as I too am questioning my 'place' and have been out of sorts since November. This place is helpful for me at this time. I'll see where it goes.
Best wishes, and take good care of you!
We're all in this together.
