Lost after 50

[Danordgren]

I am 52 and feel like any chance for a career is over for me. Some days that is so hard for me to accept. I made a lot of mistakes along the way because of my depression. I would drop out of classes because I became too depressed. Mostly because I couldn't believe I was smart enough to succeed. Now I want and need to do more and I feel like I am stuck. That just makes the depression be worse and all I want to do is sleep.

At 58....after my big life change....I went to a local junior college and signed up for classes towards a new career, surprising amount of people around my age were too..all my classes were on-line business courses. It was great, I didn't have to go anywhere...did my assignments on line....took my tests on line....and could still work part time at night, it was at a call center...they don't care how old your are or what you look like...your on the phone taking payments....it worked out okay.... didn't make the money I used to, but I was getting by....now my life is changed completely again...but for the better again...you can do this too, your gonna survive...you will find a way...once the sticker shock is over....let go and go for it.
