No one educated me about preparing for life over 55 much less with depression and anxiety. I worry about surviving, meeting basic needs. At this age people are cast aside and not appreciated or wanted. I made the mistake of not marrying and having a family. Now I am all alone and petrified. Afraid I can't live on fixed income after working 30 years. I think about ending it all. Tried medication, moved, joined a Church still no friends. People stay with family. Reality. Yes I pray. Only slither of hope. I feel guilty because chatters talk about self pity. When is it appropriate to ask for support and when is it self pity?
Brutal
someone even replied with the same
I understand I am well over 50, never married. Pretty much alone. Church is my only real family. Brother spends most of his time in Thailand, niece is busy with 4 kids of her own. Am terribly afraid of not being able to meet me needs. Living is so expensive. Being alone was great when young, but now? I think about ending it all every day. Especially now that health is not good. But I keep muddling on. Guess I will keep doing so, at least for now. You are totally correct in asking for support. You are NOT asking for pity any more then I am. Just understanding.
and if you marry
LIFE IS A SCAM
