Totally get you. 42 was actually not too bad for me. 47 now and it is worse, but also learning and realizing that is why the older we get we learn to "let go." I am sure you will do fine. Mid-life crisis hits most people!

I'm 49, single, never been married, no children and recently "retired" from employment I'd been @ for the past 20yrs! It's a whole new ball game. If I didn't have Jesus I'd be dead by now.

Accept the reality and learn to respect your own decision.. If you feel that your decision was wrong than correct it immediately without any ego.. Don't regret on anything.. You are alive till this very moment only..

Same!

All are in same situation

I'm turning 42 soon. Don't look back in anger, that's the best thing I can say to you. Whatever you did, however you lived, what you didn't do, what you think you were supposed to do, realize that you were a different person 25, 10, 1 year ago. What you can do instead is be the one you want to be NOW and for the rest of the days you have left. You can't change the past but you can change the future.

Hmmmm. It’s well

It is the same with me, only thing I'm 40

I feel you 😊

I think this is a common human experience and fear most of us (who are self aware and introspective) get to at some point. Be comforted a bit knowing you are not alone.
