...See more Welcome to 35+ Community,Β  As we navigate through our 30s and beyond, life presents us with unexpected challenges and triumphs that shape our experiences and perceptions and define who we are.

Let's explore and share some of the surprising obstacles and victories that many of us encounter during this stage of life. Question of the week:Β What are some unexpected challenges and triumphs you've encountered in your 30s and beyond? Please share and discuss together.

...See more In my 40's had a deeply traumatic life that will forever be embedded inside of me and always front and center of everything..and will always haunt me. I've been through soo much trauma, exclusion, isolation, abuse of many kinds, being unloved, being uncared for, etc ... That there's nothing left. There's just nothing left of me. I have nothing left of me to give. Not even to myself. I just mope around all day lost In trauma and in my head and doomscrolling trying to distract myself and stop from feeling.. nothing ever works. I'm forever unemployed and can never work, friendless, no boyfriend/girlfriend, no family, I am confined to the house don't like being outside, don't like being around people nor interacting much, inside 24/7. .had PTSD and anxieties my whole life, body is giving out, in poor health, watching the non losers and world go by from a window... I'm exhausted by life and existence. There's nothing left..there never was anything

I have no one to talk to and I'm not sure many can relate to what I am going through.

...See more I am not sure if I am okay with what I am doing and I am not very techie. I am a bit overwhelmed being new in this forum. I decided to join today because my depression and anxiety is draining me everyday. I am so depressed and so anxious. I am physically exhausted too. I have no one to talk to. I have no friends and my family (parents and sister) do not get what I am going through. My 17 year old dog passed away 2 weeks ago. I got physically, mentally and emotionally drained with everything. I tried my best, but in the end old age and cognitive dysfunction took him from me. We had the burial and service on Tuesday. Come Thursday, I needed to take my other dog also a senior (14) to the vet because her appetite worried me. She had an infection and her SDMA was high so she was prescribed an antibiotic and a supplement for the kidney. A week later, her infection got higher and the vet changed her antibiotic. Since I cannot crush the tablet, I need to go to the vet everyday so the assistant can give it to my dog. We are on day 2 on the new antibiotic and my dog's appetite is worse than when all this began. I am exhausted from worry. I find myself wide awake at 3:45 am last night. I don't have the strength anymore. I want to live someone else's life instead. It's like I'm living, but I'm not alive. I don't know what to do and I feel so weak from everything.Β

still impacted by childhood.

...See more because of emotional neglect and occasional physical abuse in childhood, i've found it hard to make and maintain friendships and relationships. i just turned 35. i'm single, not many friends in real life, no one i could really call and ask to hangout with aside from family. i am anxiously attached and feel like people dislike me, find me annoying, or something. even though i am kind and friendly. the wounds from childhood made me this way and as hard as i try to heal, i'm always right back here, feeling unable to trust or feel closeness to others. even though i crave it. i often feel as though most people dislike me or only talk to me to achieve something or use me somehow. it's getting quite lonely. i tried everything. therapy, self help, etc. i just want to meet kind, patient people. but i haven't been able to attract many of those. going out to events or meeting people in person is hard because i have anxiety and feel like people are judging me or disgusted in me.

Birthday Blues and Gift Giving Issues with Family
by MyLittlePonyMetalhead
Last post
 August 5th
...See more What do you do when it's your mom's birthday and she's hard to please and buy gifts for. Like for example I went to a friend's house and brought out 2 birthday bags filled with toys because my friend likes those things. Mom saw this and got upset that I didn't buy her a ton of gifts. Just got her flowers, candy, cake and her favorite dinner. But she wanted more. I've known my mom my whole life but it's hard to buy her things. Not sure if she would like a particular piece of jewelry or what. I asked her well what do you want for your next BDay? She gets mad and says Nothing. So like wtf.... I just feel like a terrible daughter to my mom. And nothing I do for her is ever good enough. I just wish I could make her happier. I wanted to get her flowers and her favorite soda pop this weekend, but what if she doesn't like them..... it just has me all stressed out now.
