No, life is not over at 64 years old! Dust yourself off and get back up. Most likely, you will live many more years, so get through today, the next, the next, and the next, and it will get better, I promise. 🌞 One day at a time is all you should worry about.

I hear this , its a skill i haven't mastered yet.

I don't always, either. Then I try to forgive myself and start again the next day. Many days I feel like Sisyphus, the man punished by Zeus, who forces him to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity. Every time he nears the top of the mountain, the boulder rolls back down, and he has to start again.

And even if the daily struggles of our lives sometimes seem equally repetitive and absurd, we still give them significance and value by embracing them as our own. Our small happiness at finding meaning in the struggle means we are the victor.

Dear Max just read your post.,you were so kind in responding to me when I lost my little fur baby (2 weeks today) I know how horrible it is to be depressed and feeling lonely at the same time but this site has so many caring people and all looking out for each other in our struggles.Don’t give up always believe that tomorrow or the day after or even weeks after things will get better and we will be able to look back on these dark days and nights and say YES we made it take care of yourself your never alone 🌈🌈👍

I have dreadful morning anxiety as well Max. It will ease up a bit but usually lasts until evening. Then, I get a little break until the next morning. I am hoping so much that I will wake up one morning and it will be gone. So sorry you are going through this too.
