Old knees?

It’s so silly and trivial but I’m 43 and feel like my knees are looking old. Too wrinkly. Lol I’m not a fan. Anyone else? (They don’t feel old. I’ll add that. So I should just be happy)

Exhausted

Whenever I try to do anything anymore, I run out of energy almost immediately. Getting groceries and going to the bank is enough for a day and I need a nap. Anyone dealt with this? How did you fix it?

Need some encouragement

Im a little freaked out right now. This afternoon HR pulled me into the office & I am still unclear as to what is happening but i think someone filed a complaint about me. This is the first time this has ever happened to me & im really anxious.

How to make friends in your 40s?

43F single, no kids. Lived in KC my whole life. Lots of friends who are married with kids. Understandably, they are much busier than me. I always thought loneliness was a feeling common among the elderly, but I’m realizing it’s age agnostic. I dearly miss having a friend group to go out with once in a while. How do I make new friends in my 40s??

Highschool reunions

What are everyone's reunions like ?

We were the middle group (between the "popular" and "nerds') and hung out and did stuff with everyone.

We had our own little reunion a year after graduating. Had a 5, 10, and then 25 year. Less people as the years go on. Not everyone was notified of our 25 year. It looked like mostly the cliquey ones that never left town were the ones there. So maybe 12 at the most. I stopped going to them after our 10 year. It was the same highschool small town mindset and seemed like nothing changes.

I have kept in touch and am still good friends with people I grew up with from probably kindergarten. 2 more years until our 30th. Unsure if I will go to that one.

I was called handsome twice today, by two different people...

And only one was my mom 😂

I've never considered myself attractive, and these days I feel like ancient shit due to my mental health, and my life for the past months! It feels strange to me whenever I get compliments for my looks.

The newly adopted cat helps, I though! 😻

Is there a chance for love & family in your 40s?

Hi everyone, I really need some solid Advice please.

I’m 41 female and just came out of a very long relationship that wasn’t going well at all.

I am now a single woman, I never had kids. All I want is a happy family. I would do anything for love and children.

All I do is cry thinking I’ve missed the boat and I will never have a family or find my true love…

Is there any hope for someone like me left?

I'm going there...

I'm considered a "suburban mom" by the media, but what does that mean? I'm sure it means so many different scenarios to all of us. My story, in short, I have a child graduating college, and at the same time taking care of my father in hospice. I am an open minded person, because, hey it might work, right? Anyway, I truly love humanity and strive to understand everyone, but I do have my feelings and opinions. Take it for what you will, but I love open discourse, because I live to learn and help bring us closer to understanding. I hope to hear from all how you feel.

41 and thinking of moving abroad

Hi everyone. I'm a 41 year old single male with no kids. I have no real complaints with life and I'm generally a happy person. I'm fortunate enough to do pretty well for myself with a good paying job and a decent home. But lately I've been thinking about completely switching things up and moving abroad to a country where English isn't the official language. Preferably Mexico or South America. I do not know Spanish but I am trying to learn everyday. My goal would be to move in 3-4 years. Has anyone done this at 40 or older? I would still need to work and figure something out withy my mortgage because I'd imagine I 'd only want to be out of the States for 3 years or so and come back. Am I completely crazy? Any groups out there that I could get connected with? Programs? Much love everyone!
