[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my late 40s too and feel the opposite. I think I am nicer and kinder now than I was when I was young. Back then I felt like everyone owed me things, I was never happy or satisfied with what I had. I hit rock bottom and almost lost everything. So I changed and learned to appreciate all that I have and learned to healthily move on from the negatives.

I learned the only person responsible for my happiness is me. So if you're not happy (or feeling bitter or angry often) then make a change if you don't want to continue to feel that way. I know it sounds simple yet is hard, but it is worth the effort. I started with therapy and journaling.

These are things I'm currently dealing with: the start of menopause; a terminally ill in-law; my parents need to downsize/move and won't take any action; a renovation; my unvaccinated kid in school every day; a family secret that came to light recently; the Covid 15; my body aching in general; and more. So it's not like my life is unicorns and rainbows right now, but I only feel anger occasionally. I feel pretty thankful for all of the positives in my life.[/quote]
