How many hats are you wearing

Last post
 August 6th
...See more How Many Hats do you wear? TRYING TO WEAR TOO MANY HATS? Have you ever found yourself wearing a hat for every day, a hat for others in the family, on the job, a different one with friends? Then before you realize it you are feeling a bit overwhelmed? Wondering how you got there once again? If we fail to plan our days it is a good chance we will wind up in someone else’s plans that we really don’t care to do. Being Intentional at setting up a plan daily or a checklist could save us a whole lot less stress. Has this ever happened to you? What did you do? Or say?

...See more I’m new to this group, I am currently on a deferred sentence, not a conviction, for an isolated domestic abuse incident. This was 5 years ago and I never told my employer of 35 years because it’s not a conviction. They found out about it through a recent background check in all employees. I had a meeting with HR last week and and still working while they determine my discipline. I’m a wreck, help!

55 single man having nightmares
by endorphin18
Last post
 June 28th
...See more 55 and single... I live alone and sleep well except for the nightmares.  Same themes and characters from my past keep coming up.   Bullying from grade school, depressed mother from my teens, job where I humiliated myself, and these events are decades in the past.  I think the nightmares may be a message that I have unresolved trauma from this past nonsense.  If anyone cares to comment or share, that is welcome.  If you're in a similar situation, I hope you can heal.  Thank you.

Looking for understanding, not judgment. Carrying a lot right now and hoping to connect with people who genuinely listen.

...See more I'm not sure where to start. I am new here. I'm feeling very alone and don't really have anyone to talk to. My birthday was a few days ago, and what happened that day made me realize how unseen I've been feeling for a long time. Since then, I've been carrying a lot of sadness, anger, disappointment, and loneliness. I'm married and have children, but lately I've felt emotionally disconnected from the people around me. I've spent years being the one who takes care of everyone else, and now I'm realizing I don't know who takes care of me. I'm not looking for judgment. I think I just need someone to listen and maybe tell me I'm not the only person who has ever felt this way.

...See more Just because we are advancing in years should not mean that we cant do it in style. When you see yourself in the mirror and find that you look good, you feel even better. There are different ways to make us feel better,one of them can also be to dress up occasionally. I remember saying that if you ever feel yourself getting a little down, put on your favorite dress or pants, lace up your nicest shoes, and show the world who you are. What do you think? Do you dress up occasionally and does it make you feel good when looking into the mirror? Not yet a regular of this forum?

You don’t have to be “liked” by everyone.

...See more I’ve discovered this is a trauma response. Fawning. Trying to ingratiate oneself to others. Immediately trying to sense from communication or lack thereof one’s innate worthiness to exist.   It’s ok to not be liked.   The truth will set you free.   Supposedly, anyway.   I have yet to see it in action because mostly I suppress the side of myself that is caustic, judgmental, sees the world in color, responds to auras, sees numbers, worships kindness.    Those sorts of things. Though that is my authentic voice.   Being pleasing is a social lubricant.   White lies. Etc.   Part of the Racist, Homophobic, Misogynist, Capitalist machinery that keeps us all in line.    And our voices suppressed.   Is this a space where one might “try out” being honest?       Or is this yet another space where free speech is suppressed, oppressed?   Please don’t respond just to “please” me or to fulfill some quota.   For example, I’m aware there is some reward in “cheers” for people who respond to “needs response” threads.   Please do not send some cute animal hugging another animal and saying it’s all going to be all right, because frankly, it’s not.   Let’s see who actually reads through this message.   Let’s see if this message is still up tomorrow.

Being Fifty Plus and Shingles
by TovaCares76
Last post
 April 27th
...See more Hello! I'd like to introduce you to a challenge I just dealt with, and it's something a lot of us face as we get older.  Y'all, I just went through shingles. I'm going to spare you my personal details, but it's a nightmare. I'm here to tell you that it's not great, it's a possibility as you get older, and there are things you can do to help prevent it. Very first thing I have to say is if you are a young person, in some countries there is a vaccine for chicken pox. Just an FYI.  Shingles is a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus aka "chicken pox". If you had chicken pox, the virus is still inside you, lying dormant in your nervous system. You work those nerves enough, boom, shingles. You can do this with illness, weak immune system issues, and stress. In my case, it was just stress. Which can happen to all of us, not just us 50+. Yes, that's right. Stress can reactivate your chicken pox. It does not show up in the same way it may have the first time. It will instead show up in patches of painful blisters. It will also come with nerve pain and typical virus symptoms like fever, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite. Most people find they get it on their face, neck, scalp, or their back.  So what can we do to prevent ourselves from getting shingles? * Talk to your doctor about the vaccine. In the US, people over 50 are FDA approved for the vaccine. I honestly wish I would have been able to get it, but I'm 49 and got denied (silly, right?). Two doses of the Shingrix vaccine gives you 90% protection from shingles. I mean, that's prevention, not "you just won't get it as bad" like a flu shot.  * If you are immunocompromised, talk to your doctor about how you can best prevent getting it. It can really complicate some serious illnesses, especially if your illness is already affecting your nerves, and some treatments like cancer treatments can reactivate it.   * If you have never had chicken pox, and have not had the vaccine for it, anyone with shingles can give you chicken pox. Stay away from anyone with active shingles blisters. Once they heal over, they are no longer contagious. Chicken pox is sometimes severe when you're older, and can be fatal. Adults can get the chicken pox vaccine. If you're worried about contracting chicken pox, talk to your doctor.  * Maintain a healthy immune system. This means exercising, eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep and managing your stress. This is the one I have to emphasize. Stress was what brought it out in me, and unfortunately it was a situation I could not control. I used all of the coping skills in my toolbox, and the shingles still got me. Don't let it get you too!  Shingles is a common occurrence at our age. I thought I'd use my recent experience to remind everyone it happens, and to let you know how you can prevent it. As for me, I'm scheduled for a vaccine this week. 🥳

Getting Older

 March 6th
...See more We are faced with the inevitable Age is something we cannot defeat It will take hold of our bodies  From our heads, down to our feet. Our minds may grow a little weaker Our gait may start to stumble Our hands may start to shake Our words we may sometimes fumble. But life has taught us one thing Our worth is that of plenty We are stronger than people think Trials and tribulations, we've survived many. We are here now to shine light On those younger than ourselves To teach them what it means  To place pride upon a shelf. To offer up a story when They cannot find a way And encourage them to do their best Everyday, and in every way. Our stories come with aches and pains It's a sign of a life that's been lived I will be greatful for this time... Getting older is a gift. Written by (me) CrystalDawn February 2026
