Feelings about getting old.

Hey try turning fifty!! Seriously, none of us really know how much time we have - anyone could drop dead at any second. (Isn't it weird vacillating between wanting to die and wanting to live?) I know what it's like to want to be there for your kids; I also have health problems plus my depression. It's hard. One day at a time - and if necessary one minute at a time - or one second! Good luck to you.

Negative thinking is not good for you mind or your body. You need to try to turn those negative thoughts around.  It's hard not to get depressed about health problems the only thing you can do if try to be as healthy as you can and try to thing "well" thought. There is a website called MoodGym  which has free cognitive therapy to turn that thinking around. I am almost 50 years old and some days I feel it. My Dad had a massive heart attack in his 40's.....triple bypass and now he is about to turn 80. He has had another 40 years of good living. Look after yourself.  Best wishes R

I had the same feeling when I was in my mid 40's and now that I'm 65, I'm still having them.. Well guess it may just be something some of us men go through. The way I look at it I will still have the Dooms Day thoughts when I'm 75... LOL. Just stick in there buddy and remember the only thing you will leave behind of real valve are your chlidren and they need you NOW and will need you as they get older..

BE THERE FOR THEM.. Your 2nd. there 1st.. Just remember that..
