[/INST] Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.I understand your distress and anxiety in anticipation of the fact that your son would be leaving you soon. Most parents go through this phase of feeling lonely and dejected when their children leave them. However, you should understand and try to accept this as part of life and move on.I would suggest that you keep yourself engaged, for example, you can try a new hobby or learn something new. Try to engage in relaxing activities like listening to music, meditation, etc. Even if you don't have any friends so far, you can start making new friends. Start meeting neighbours, relatives, etc. and share your feelings and I'm sure they will be understanding and supportive. You can also try joining in some local groups, for example, a social service group or a recreational group, so that you can find some motivation and purpose. Don't worry, this phase will only a temporary one and you will be able to overcome your problems soon.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist </s>
