RE: Getting older- How I really feel
This is the saddest post I have read here. I'm afraid it touches me right where I live and now I am sad too. Some days I only continue on out of curiosity as to what my son will do with his life. I find it is important for me to not think about the narrowing of options advancing age and disability have wrought.
Its def a struggle my only motivation has always been my family but now they are grown and moving on my thoughts are am i holding them back
I think that too. The last thing I want to be is a burden on others. I have purposely isolated myself in real life to prevent that. Of course, that only adds to the depression, but it's better than the alternative. Fortunately I have my disability check and can still tend to most of my own needs. But I can't drive (I have periods of disorientation) and had to stop going to school. That was the main goal of my personal life for the last 6 years and now even that is gone. Now social media and netflix are my whole life. I swore I would never be that guy.
I'm the same the only friends I have are the ones in my laptop. My life seems to be going one way and is isn't good
