[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel that way too, OP. I’m turning 50 in February.
I feel like there is nothing interesting about me. I’ve never really done anything interesting.
I know that objectively this isn’t true and also, 50 is a great time to take charge of my life and change that while I’m still healthy.
If you are already on medication, I would suggest calling your doctor and asking about getting it adjusted. If it wasn’t prescribed by a psychiatrist, then make an appointment with a good one who can really get to the bottom of helping you feel better. That’s what I am doing![/quote]

I too will be 50 in Feb. and relate to most of these sentiments. 50 is hitting me harder than 40. My oldest is about to fly the nest which is both exciting and sad. I'm actually really grateful for this time with him. I am furloughed from my job and I'm considering a career change and not going back to my old industry. I'm exercising a lot in spite of my new aches & pains and that's keeping the blues at bay (for now). All in - feeling very mid-life crisis-y[/quote]
