Child abuse survivor, anxious avoidant character, over thinker seeking help and support with severe depression and severe anxiety. I'm unable to breathe during episodes. I don't know if I can do this. It hurts too much. I'm tired of being a victim. I'm tired of being a toy for everyone.

@Den2542

Yes definitely the voice in your head still the same yet the years go by. As we age we become wiser and life experiences if we only knew then what we know now. Soo sorry you are struggling 🤗. 

I find with summer almost here I enjoy being outside helps to appreciate nature. What do you enjoy doing that gives you joy or makes you smile? 

I turned 58 yesterday and I do enjoy every year I attain as many are denied the privilege. I am retired and I seem to be busier than ever volunteering. It gives me way to give back to organization a I love.

@Dennis2542. How have you been? I haven’t seen you around and was thinking about you?

As do we all. It seems like I was in my mid-30's maybe three to four years ago at most--& I will hit the big 5-0 in less than two years from now!

What you've probably been told already is true: the older you get, the faster time goes by. And no, it does not get any easier as the years pass. Best to do what you need to now & not put anything off...a man can buy many things, but one resource no one can buy more of is time. Use it wisely while you still have plenty in front of you.

@Dennis2542 yes aging can suck bigtime. Listening to music helps me sometimes.
