Women in their 30s and 40s?

tealSummer28 February 10th, 2015

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to 7 cups and think it's a great site. However, it seems that many if not most members are students in their early 20s. Are there any women in their 30s or 40s who would like to connect? I'm a married woman in my late 30s and just dealing with the general stuff--a little depression, a little anxiety, a little existential angst. Would like to connect with others in a similar life stage. Thanks!

Not a woman. Happily married man but would be glad to talk

Hi I'm new too and in my 40s. Would be glad to chat with you. I'm feeling stressed and anxious about a number of things. Life doesn't get easier as you get older :-(

Hi there, I joined about a week or so ago. I'd love the chance to connect. I'm in my early 40s, have had seasonal affective disorder since I was 13, so I deal with depression and anxiety every winter, in greater and lesser degrees. Had some great winter's the past few years, and then suddenly this year the depression is kicking my butt. This site has been helping so far, and some great supportive friends.

Hello! Yes I notice that as well. I will be 30 in August. Makes me feel a bit old talking to these kids! What they stress about, I've already been through! lol

Hi there! I am a woman in my early 30s. Someone suggested that we should be able to filter listeners by age group. So true! It's a completely different conversation depending on your listener age/experience, regardless their passion or preparation. Hopefully they can improve the app soon to accommodate changes like this.

I'm glad so many people have replied! Let me look into creating a group or chat for our specific demographic. I'll contact the community manager and update when I hear back!

I have not heard back from the community manager, but I have gone through the training to become an active listener so you can now chat with me or leave me a message if I am not online. My listener name is GlobalRainfall50 (for some reason they assign you a new name when you become a listener). Please feel free to message me! I look forward to connecting!

Hi everyone! I turned 30 a few months ago. With that, I started having some fairly serious heath issues and so now I feel older and closer to a "mid-life crisis" than I ever thought I would just 6 months ago.

What are some of the things you guys struggle with or worry about?

mistpete75 February 23rd, 2015

I'm turning 40 this year. There's definitely more struggles as you get older. A chat group with people that are similar in age would be awesome!

I'm in my mid30s and joined recently. I'm dealing with lifeLong anxiety and depression that was under control untilI was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder. It's genetic, incurable and leaves me withChronic pain and mobility issues.

So sorry to hear that. It must be very hard to deal with. How are you managing?

sunnyPond606 February 25th, 2015

I also suffer from depression and a connective tissue disease, as well as an autoimmune disease. The pain is crippling at times and the loss of mobility at 30 doesn't help the depression at all.

I can definitely see that. I can only imagine what you're going through... :(
