Hi
I wasn’t sure where to put this:
I am just wondering if they’re are many older people on these forums? Like people 55+ who may have mental health issues going into (or being in) their retirement and how they are handling them.

@outlander is our token 25 yr old with much cleverness and compassion.
I must comment on this. A few years ago, I was watching Scrubs a television series and the font singer appeared from Men At Work. He was 70 years old looking absolutely fantastic.
