Working

Had the last five days off and back to work in the morning. I so much want to be retired. Not in the cards right now. I work 10 hour days I am 63 and it gets tiring. Mentally challenging. I would say that about any job this point in my life. Add in anxiety and depression and that's not a good mix. Some days are better than others but i have not been happy for a sustained period of time in many years

I really understand where you’re coming from! I’m 73 and still working a physically demanding job and dealing with a lifetime of depression and anxiety. I would love to retire but I’m fearful the lack of structure would only make everything worse. It’s a no win situation isn’t it.
