[quote=Anonymous]Sending sympathy, OP. I'm also in my late 50s and am finding the stress of eldercare plus losing everybody I've loved in the older generation plus my own creakiness means mortality is weighing on my and I, too, am wondering where this promised improvement in the 50s is. If it's any consolation, it seems absolutely everybody I know our age is going through some variation of the same thing. What worries me is the isolation in which we are each experiencing all this.

I am thinking of seeing anxiety meds for the first time. But I also know I need a RL support group, if only I didn't get covid every time I try to meet up in person.

Btw, a while ago after attending a college reunion and hearing from dozens of our age cohort over the course of a weekend, I posted on DCUM to the effect that those in late middle age are Not Okay, contrary to press reports, and the responses were so vicious I had to ask Jeff to take the post down. That may have been before this forum was created. But in any case I want to send solidarity and support as best I can.[/quote]
