At My Age?

@adventurousFarm8706

I think it's possible and that a lot of people use masks to hide their true emotions. One of the reasons is that one may not always feel insecure in all facets of life. A good talk with a friend, a listener, or even a professional can help you to see things from a different angle and  find confidence in yourself. 

I can relate @adventurousFarm8706

65 and feel the same.

I think no one can be too grown up to feel unconfident or unsure ,I think these feelings are things that accompany every human being at every age ,we all work hard to try to seem strong and confident on the outside ,but also we all feel a little unsure on the inside and it's okay ,we all have our little fears or thoughts ,some people might seem like they are confident and have it figured out ,but that's because we only see the spotlight in them,we don't see their issues like we see ours , that doesn't mean we shouldn't try ,we should believe in ourselves and that we have chances and hope and know that we are beautiful and unique inside out ,but it's okay to not feel unconfident sometimes , it's a part of being human as well 🤍✨

I turned 59 yesterday so not qualified to answer 😝

Life hasn't always been kind too me and i'm struggling particularly with having no sense of purpose and loneliness so I can certainly appreciate what you are saying. Reaching out through 7 Cups has started the ball rolling, small steps to a more positive outlook, opening up and talking is making life feel considerably brighter already 😄  Hope you find the same.

You are not alone, what you have written could also be for myself and i am a year older than you. 

As mentioned 7 Cups has helped somewhat. 

It wasn't your job to have it all together at any age. You are human not God. Maybe when you feel grounded take just one minute to remember your struggles in life. That moment you will remember how much you achieved already. You will remember - oh! At 60, I am better than I was at 40. So, you are just getting better.

I'm 60 and I recently figured out I've been living with ADHD my whole life. I recently 2 months ago quit my job and I am trying to pick up the pieces and put them back together. I had been taking meds for 12 years and when I finally figured out it was ADHD I switched to ADHD meds. I was so burnt out all I could do was work. Now I have no friends and the medication helps but doesn't fix everything. It fixed the impulse rollercoaster ride. That was brutal. I know that I have to do things differently. Now I'm getting coaching for ADHD and attending ADHD support groups. I am slowly starting to see the pieces and next I have to try to gather them up then put them together. It is going to take a while before I'm in one piece again but it's better than what was happening before.
