Struggle is the nature of the beast. @MDT Sometimes we put it to rest, and others it raises its ugly head. Dont let it get to you.

Hi @MDT
I’m sorry to read you are feeling this way with all of those emotions and feelings and thoughts. I’ve been feeling those things myself on and off lately despite being 44 but I’m trying to convince myself that things will improve. They have to as I can’t continue to live life the way it is. You have to believe that things will get better and that this current situation is here to test you to see how strong you really are and believe me, you are a strong person. I know this and so do plenty of others here in forumland. You are kind, considerate and special who has lots of talents and skills to share and offer people. I believe that this period shall pass soon and that you will get through it. Just keep on putting one step in front of the other and keep moving forward. One day you’ll look back on this experience with amazement and realise how tough it was yet know that you got through it like the special person we know and admire here in the forums.
Take care, forumite friend.
