I'm 55f so I've lived a decent amount of life already and want to die. I'm terrified of what's to come from old age. Anyone feel the same?
I think your sig is my new mantra. That's awesome. It makes me feel calmer.50+. I'm not terrified of old age, but what I've lived so far has really broken me.
I'm f56. Not only because I've failed all my suicide attempts and I'm scared to fail again, right now another huge reason I'm sticking around is because both my parents' health is declining rapidly and they need (my) help and support. However, I still feel ineffectual at providing the necessary care, support, assistance that they both need and deserve. My older brother (close to 1000 miles away) has his head in his ass although I've tried to reach out to him for help and support. I DON'T want to put my parents "away".. Because, over the decades my father becomes MORE AND MORE distrustful of people. (we're under their roof), he is NOT going to allow outside help in. He definitely ISN'T voluntarily going to give up driving. Yesterday, he apparently hit someone else's bumber in the parking lot at Aldi's. I'M SO SCARED ! However, because of my vision and another neurological condition, I have never had a driver%'s license. And we DON'T live on or near public transportation routes. I FEEL SO HELPLESS!I'm 55f so I've lived a decent amount of life already and want to die. I'm terrified of what's to come from old age. Anyone feel the same?
This. 60 plus here. I can't take it any more. I have no more dreams, they will never happen so there is no point in even having them. All of my efforts now are directed to disposing of my belongings. Most of the stuff will and have ended up in the trash dumpster because the donation centers around here are pretty full. That includes items from family members, photos, etc. I plan to ctb before the end of this year or sometime in 2025. It won't take much to take that last step towards the peace of not having to deal with my life anymore.50+. I'm not terrified of old age, but what I've lived so far has really broken me.
I feel the same and don't want to find myself in some old-age home that is inabled by old age. Id instead go when I am still healthy.I'm 55f so I've lived a decent amount of life already and want to die. I'm terrified of what's to come from old age. Anyone feel the same
Forgive me for asking but have you always felt this way or is it because you feel that you are getting old?I'm 55f so I've lived a decent amount of life already and want to die. I'm terrified of what's to come from old age. Anyone feel the same?
Ha! I'm almost 70 and feel that way!57 here. Too young to be old, too old to be young.
44 here. I know exactly what you mean. I watch. so many old shows and when you find out their characters age or their real life age and it's younger than you are, it makes me feel so old!I'll be 45 in 3 weeks. I just saw a clip this morning that said the housekeeper Alice from the Brady Bunch show was 43 when she was on the show. I wanted to off myself then and there.
I'm 70 and in perfect health and look like I'm 55, if you eat right, exercise, keep your weight down you'll be okI'm 55f so I've lived a decent amount of life already and want to die. I'm terrified of what's to come from old age. Anyone feel the same?
I loath having to remember the same bad memories for years or decades to come.50+. I'm not terrified of old age, but what I've lived so far has really broken me.
