Hi I'm a 54-year-old and looking for support

Hey i bet your son is cute.is there something thats been bothering you for a long time? You need to learn self care and self love.try it and yeah make the light of your life more brighter.take care and if you want to talk.remember you are not alone

For me, I’ve had to make some changes in adapting to life without work/meaning/purpose/my own family, but you most certainly have purpose, love and family which are blessings in themselves!

If I may then I’d say I certainly relate to some degree on the dullness of the same o same each day.

For me, I’ve developed some degree of depersonalization due to the lockdowns, lack of jobs with no long term studies yet still demand mRNA (plus indefinite boosters at this rate), and my own faults of not being able to get out much either way with agoraphobia getting out of control before seeking quality help.

Before 2019 therapists and ER staff had avg 15 yrs experience whereas today it’s avg 2 yrs experience.

Point is even with so much against finding some normalcy away from going stir crazy I’ve had to find some new hobbies such as reading ebooks (when I’m not restless) and even gaming to manufacture my own ways of keeping myself occupied which is the TLDR of this response.

Are there some hobbies that have interested you before now but never quite had the time previously to try out?

Ngl I even like puzzles or just researching history of how lives were like 50, 100, even 1000+ years ago just to better understand music, livelihoods. What ppl did for fun or health. Things like that. Total nerd talk I know 🤓

All I do know for certain is that when the mind isn’t kept occupied or cared for when we notice unusual things beginning to progress that it never otherwise paid attention to, a good start is to talk to someone about it.

Not blast it in SM or anything but to express what we genuinely are going through with likeminded ppl who have been through it themselves.

To that point, I think I was lucky to find 7Cups when I did and I’m thankful I’ve found at least one good listener or two to connect with and just talk.

I hope you find some therapeutic value in it as well.

Feel free to text me

if youre ever lonely or need someone to vent/talk to I’m here! I would try to find a new hobby you enjoy, or go to a spa, get some relaxing time all to yourself. That always helps me ☺️

Anyone here? I am brand new.

what am I not under standing. Someone must be here I think?
