Say Hello! We want to meet all 40 year old members!
Greetings all.
I'm 46 (had to do the math as usual). Here as where I'm from mental issues are considered a weakness that should be kept secret and support is almost non-existent.
@groundedangel
Hello... sadly, I think that is still a common stigma.
@groundedangel
Hello, look here we all are supporting you. just write, vent and share. we all are ears and hearts listening for you.
stay safe.
Hello to all who are at the most beautiful stage of life in their 40s
Hi there, I'm 43 (also had to do the math, lol). but I don't feel like I am that old. I guess I thought I'd be alot farther towards my goals by now....be married (nope) own a home (nope) have a rewarding career (nope). Instead I'm a depressed, anxious, co-dependent drug addict on ODSP who is struggling to merely be happy nevermind fulfill any of those lofty goals I mentioned. I guess the older I get, the easier it gets to accept that there's always just something more important to do it seems --besides actually work towards achieving my goals. 😏
Hi @Doglovercward
Sounds pretty rough... but you sounds wise 😊 lovely to have you here 💙
See you around! ❤
Hello I am Nicole. I just turned 40 in October. I have been married for 17 years and we have 2 children. Trying figure out what good things there are about growing older.
@Belkanoir
hi Nicole, do you know right now you took the first step in the maturity life. congratulations.
Hello,
I am 45, I personally feel overwhelmingly alone and depressed. I almost feel invisible. I am not physically alone because my 15 year old son lives with me. He rather play on the Xbox with his friends. I have no friends that I interact with. I just don't want to feel this way anymore.
@TheDude0156
Hello, we can be friends if you are interested, just write, share and don't keep everyhting isnde you.
@TheDude0156 Hi there! I am open to chat if you would like? I can relate to that feeling as well. I think many of us can. Feel free to reach out. Have a good evening.
@Msp1208
Hey how are you? Yes at this stage of life people do start feeling lonely and I guess it's becoz with busy work schedules we go away from our friends and loved ones so if you need to talk or share anything or just be a friend feel free to get in touch 😉
@Justforud1
I am sorry for my late response, Thank you for the nice message. I grew apart from many over the years. I am lonely at times. I enjoy talking about anything. I had a pretty good day today. Did some cleaning and made some meatless spaghetti with spaghetti squash. Had some herbs and wallah!!! Good peaceful day! How about yourself?
Like I stated in another post of mine. I will make sure I log on regularly. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay on this site. Now that it seems to be picking up.. I will be here!
@Msp1208

@Msp1208
I would like to talk. I was locked out of this app for a week and I'm finally able to get back on.
@TheDude0156
Hi, I am sorry for the late response. Yes, we should chat! I would enjoy that. I will make sure to log on more regularly. How are you doing?
@Msp1208
Things are going well, I think it one day at a time lately.
Hi. Good afternoon. I'm glad to hear things are going well. One day at a time, yes me too. I have been trying to "retrain" my brain patterns to think about the positives in my life and all of the things I'm appreciative for. It really helps when I feel my day could be headed in the wrong direction. 😁
Lately I have been feeling down and alone. Don't get me wrong I know I will be alone when my son moves out after school is over. I have not been taking my medication like I should be. I keep forgetting to and most times I don't want to. Work takes most my time. My son spends his time in his room most the time so even if he is home I'm still alone.
@TheDude0156
hi we sound a lot alike. My soon to be 14 old plays video games most of the day, my 16yo daughter is busy with work, school and her bf. I feel lonely and hopeless and have so much anxiety lately.
I'm new to the site. I turned 40 this year. 2020 sure has been a year to remember. Although, I am dealing with certain sufferings at the moment, I try to look for the good. This past summer, I developed a love for long-distance biking and nature. It has kept me going during the summer. I have had a better time in the woods alone than I have with others in my household.
When I look back in a few years I want to remember 2020 for the biking, summer sun, and how I managed to overcome certain struggles. I want to bring that memory going forward with me, instead of the ugliness that could be. I have noticed my life has been difficult. I can pull up a negative memory in one second. I have a harder time with the positive memories... so i'm making a new deck of cards in my brain, so to speak. Time will tell how it goes.
Hi @Msp1208, nice to meet you 😊
welcome to 7cups and the 35+ sub com and... happy belated birthday 🍎 wish you and enjoyable journey, good health and best of luck!

Good to hear it helps to be here. One step at a time 💙

Hi everyone, I'm Dan, nearly 42. Three random things about me: I am a metallurgist, cat daddy and I cook a mean veggie lasagne.
I just joined this site looking for people to share experiences with, the last few months have been pretty tough, probably the lowest I've ever felt with thoughts of suicide and feeling isolated and alone.
I really need to talk to my parents and brother and sister about it but I don't know how, deep down I know they will be supportive but I feel like such a failure.
@DanielJay28
Hello, you are welcome between us, you are welcome in your world, you are welcome where no one judge you, no one refuse to listen to you,
just stay safe, feel free and fly :)
Hi Dan, I hope you are feeling better. I am feeling pretty low myself and lonely. I mostly keep to myself because I don't want to burden people with my problems and for me, I find it so very hard to find friends. We aren't failures, we just have to find ways to take care of ourselves and give self care. It's not easy. I'm here also to find someone to share experiences with
