Fear of time is running out
I'll be 40 in a few months and I think that's highly contributing to some of the problems I've been having. For the last several months, I've been more emotional than I've ever been. Ordinarily, I'm not an overtly emotional person but feel them deeply inside. Now it feels like my internal damn broke and I'm struggling.
I'm more sad, angry, depressed, lonely and isolated than I've ever been. I think a lot of this is contributed to my feeling of time's running out for me to be happy. I've had a rough life with the bad outweighing the good drastically. Now that I'm almost 40, I guess I feel like it may never happen when I just breathe and live a happy, loving, semi-peaceful life.
Is this common approaching 40?
It's not about the age .
It's about how your life is at this point of time .
So sorry you feel this way. You're welcome to 7 Cups and also welcome to come by anytime you have something on your mind. Best wishes to you!

@Mezmer I’m 40+ and I believe the emotions you feel is growth. Growth in yourself, growth of seeing the world for what it is, and growth from your experiences. Having emotional growth isn’t a bad thing, however, the trick is not to let them control you. Don’t let them “make your mind up” about life’s scenario. I now, it’s a learned thing, am starting to look at emotions as a “Spidey Sense” sort of thing. So embrace your emotions. It’s showing that you’re human. And know that you aren’t alone….things that I was taught lately. I vote that helps a bit. 💪🏽✌🏽🤙🏽
