Hello old people!
Who knew we would be old?! At least older than when we saw 40’s as old. First post, just taking a temp check to see if this is the right place to talk about my ex, kids and being in this phase of life. Wrong place, I have thick skin, just let me know.
Hey, nice to meet you @selfdisciplinedLychee7796
You're only as old as you feel! You're in the right place and hopefully some people in their 40s can come connect with you soon!
Happy to have you here, take care!
The older we get the older old is.....

Hi, i just turned 50, so i know what it's like to feel old. :)
Kidding aside; i don't feel very old, but of course i think about my age sometimes.
Hey there! Very new here, as in joined today new. Mid-40s, married, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 1 bunny, lots of issues. By many standards I have a good life, but I don't think anyone knows the internal struggles I fight daily. If it weren't for my kids, I honestly don't know if I would still be around today. That overwhelming sense of sadness and loss of hope strikes more often than anyone would think. Today was a rough day. Hoping that this group/site can help me to atleast discuss some of it without judgement.

Sorry to hear today was not a great one for you. There is no scale nor standard when it comes to feeling down, so I hope you do not feel any need to justify your feelings. I have found the people here to be kind and understanding. Maybe we will not always say the right thing, but they will always listen and attempt to comfort and support. If today has not been the best, perhaps tomorrow will prove to be better.
@BrokenBy40 I can totally relate! It's like you are writing about me. I look foward to all of us sharing and caring in this community of "old" people ![]()
I’m so with everyone else. My body is 47 but I feel (and probably act) 24 lol. Welcome! I am happy you are here. :)
I'm 49... I still feel like a kid in my own mind...
Nice to meet you. I can totally relate. Hope you're having a good day.
