Say Hello! We want to meet all 40 year old members!

Hello, Im new here im 40 years old female I have BDP and recovering from substance abuse, I battle with my emotions and feelings everyday and most of the time is hard to keep them under control, I got to 7 cups while looking for a place to share them without feeling judged and hopefully finding someone who has felt the same at some point. I tend to isolate myself but its easier to share thru 7 cups.

Hi all. 41/F here. Overall not in the most horrible of places in life, but definitely stuggling with twists and turns. I am a SAHM currently but I have been studying computer programming both on my own and through a local community college. I work out at a gym regularly and meditate daily if I'm able for stress management. I read books and play video games in my free time. I can be very motivated and determined when I choose to be.

Married, two young kids 6 + 3. One has ADHD and is being treated with meds and therapy. The other is concerning his teachers at school currently but hopefully it is a phase. Husband has strongly suspected and undiagnosed/treated social anxiety, especially around doctors, so the liklihood of it ever being treated is miniscule. All surviving grandparents have major health concerns. So, I guess you can say that I'm teering on the edge of caregiver burnout. And broke as a joke to boot.

I'm just looking for a little umph to help get me through the bad days. Sometimes hope is a bit fleeting.

Best wishes to you all!

I'm only 39 years old.

New here... About to turn 42 on the 3rd. I need help bad. Lonley, depressed, and borderline suicidal. I'd explain it all, but it'd be a thread a billion pages long. Hoping this place is a good start to self healing, or a light I can't yet see at the end of the tunnel.

Hello, I'm new here. It's my fist day and I'm very exited to have found support online. Struggling with isolation and domestic issues.

Joining the community. First post ever. Very glad of being here.

Hello, I'm new, still trying to figure out how the site works, glad I found this thread...

Hi 47 year old male. Struggling with depression. I have been like this most of my life. I have what most people want in their life. I am successful and have a wonderful family. Well son and single again. It is hard to deal with not being joyful or happy. It is hard for people to be around that. I put on a great face and most people don't know what I go through. I really have nothing to be sad about but can't ever seen to get offer this depression. I don't have to go to a job. I get to take time for myself when ever I need to. I do work. Maybe too much. I get outdoors a lot. I socialize with people. I exercise. I hike a lot. I have done so many things to try and overcome it. I can be positive. But I just don't want to anymore. I am just so you're of trying.

Hello everyone. I'm a 41 y/o female with bipolar, anxiety, and panic disorder. I recently had to step down from a job I really worked hard for. The episodes were being triggered by my work. Now I'm a stay at home dog mom while I get my med management worked out and get the other help I need. I'm also a recovering alcoholic and addict that used to use as a form of self-medicating to cover the depression and social anxiety.

Hi, I just joined the group recently. Coming from a country where depression and anxiety should be swept under the rug, I'm at a lost on whom to talk to....
