Yes, I am also 57, and you are not alone by any means! It is a difficult age.
Suggestions:
1)Remember to count your blessings everyday,but go beyond that to look inward to contact your infinite, timeless self. Sadhana, YES! If you're having trouble getting going, listen to mantra music and do a simple sadhana with pranayama to get yourself pumped with prana (like tiger claws followed by ego eradicator)
2) My favorite kriya is called Outward Bound, from the Fountain of Youth book (this is sometimes hard to find). It has a strongly euphoric effect after the first 2 exercises. It's difficult so I usually cut the times and reps in half, and still feel like superwoman when it's over. I like to combine it with either the aura building set or Sarbung Dande(serabandana) kriya to really get a glow on.
3) Pranayam every day, experiment and master a few!
4) Read a list of thyroid symptoms and check your thyroid levels if you need to. My outer eyebrows started thinning in my twenties and wax and wane w/ thyroid function. You may have to see an endocrinologist to get a script because regular doctors stick to the ranges, which are too broad.
I could write up the kriya, if you're interested.
