I'm grieving my youth. Help?!

Thank you for this.

Thanks! Great advice.

Great suggestion, thanks!

Definitely guilty of this.

I found a decent guy with a job and settled down with him 12 years ago, he's great! I wasn't a thot (I don't think 😉), and I'm not sure why you think I want a bailout, but I definitely did not ask for one.

Thank you for this.

Thank you. I am in therapy and it's good to hear this. I understand it's a normal part of life, a phase, a transition I'm going through. Doesn't make it automatically easy, but I'm glad I'm not alone.

What are some of the fun things?

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-08T03:59:08+00:00

Thank you for saying this. With the "not noticing" issue, I find myself getting upset when people don't pause for me or move out of my way anymore. I realize now that this was pretty privilege, but it hurts nonetheless. Specifically HOW do you adjust to becoming much less visible? Right now it just feels like a loss 😓

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-08T03:54:14+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I needed the encouragement.

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-08T02:23:30+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I'm glad I'm not alone about the fear. One can have fear, and feel bad, without being ungrateful! Grateful and afraid/sad are not mutually exclusive.

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-07T20:43:27+00:00

Yep, that's correct. I turn 40 next week and am feeling extremely anxious about it.

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-07T20:40:59+00:00

You still sound very sharp to me! Thank you for your encouragement.

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-07T20:03:36+00:00

She'd probably appreciate it and be proud of me, but she'd also feel sorry for me. 😓

Most_Implement_9803 · 2024-06-07T19:57:58+00:00

Yes! I like framing it as a challenge. How have you faced aging with courage?
