Depressed with my situation, later 50s

Dear,

Try not to isolate yourself. Keep in touch with close family and friends that you can trust to talk about your situation.

Sounds like your on a station Glisten yeah ?

But yeah, l have a situational depression but l really take my hat off to those that have the clinical type it must be so much. You've done so well big congrats to you.

Only trouble is it's a bit hard bringing people into my world when there's nobody to bring into it. Maybe there will be in time, lets hope . l do like having one or two friends but l'm more a relationship person rather than one to have friends coming and going all the time or too often though.

All the best with the heat and dust.

Well, that';d be nice Phili but there's no one family wise l wanna go into this too much with.

Hey 👋🏼 @mrmista I’m property sitting on 11 acres atm. Situated near the Darling Range.

I was on a friend’s 29 acres property for almost two years.

I would love to be on a station. I just need to find the right contract and buy a 4WD. Hoping fuel ⛽️ prices will drop Ute prices, but I hate waiting.

I am shite at relationships. I barely like other people’s pets. Small dogs not a chance.

I got to go feed the Kelpies and check the fences.

Haaa, nice one Glisten.

Mine here is only half a hect but l use to have horses and acreage, so did my family.

l don't really want land now this is more than enough.

When l was a kid my mate and l use to look at station jobs in the Weekly Times, God don't even know if that papers still around.

They usually have dozens of cars and trucks if you found work on one they'd prob supply you one , prob screaming for station hands.

Heya @mrmista @Pilih @Glisten and others.

Is this the 'later 50s' hang out space?

Why don't we make one - if people feel it helpful 🙂 (although, I wouldn't really fit)

@mrmista , don't forget to add the "@" before the usernames so we all get a notification of your responses 🙂 I wouldn't want to miss any 🙂

@tyme you are timeless.

Sure. Heaps of people arrive at 50s and not where they expected to be.

It can challenge your whole sense of self.

I’m still creating me.

I feel that age is just a number. Hence I never celebrate birthdays @Glisten

I feel that the unique journey each one takes is most important.

At the same time, if there was a "later 50s" thread, I wouldn't want to offend anyone 🙂

You're all my forums family, so that's most important 🙂

Thank you for being you. @Glisten

Haaaa, @Glisten , @tyme

Thanks for that guys, yaknow, really appreciated those, they lightened up my head for just a second there and really, your both spot on l guess too.

But eh, 50s thread, well give or take a decade or two ha ha, why not, but we'll let in anyone ha ha. All welcome.

Who said they don't do birthdays and age is just a number well be damned,me either. Use to cop stuff every damn yr about that , not that l'm even that popular don't get me wrong but l do have a huge faamily l hardly ever see btu for some damn reason they always remember my bloody bdy and insist on send a message or call, wth. For yrs been telling them l don't do bloody bdys, and for yrs they just keep on sending it though. Last few yrs l've been blocking all family for a wk around bdy time, just to shut it up. Well bar one or two that l still see a lot off.

My daughters handy bc she always forgets bdys anyway ha ha, wish that'd rub off onto other people.

But yeah, l suppose the it's all a journey thing, l guess.

Me though, mine, l don't know where everyone else's here journeys taken them through the yrs but mine, man, it's been a doozy, far more than most well any even close to norm anyway- but not everyone's l know.

Glad to say have met a few here and there where their's has been even bigger so at least l'm not alone.

Anyway, been doing some groundwork, marked things out put in pegs, shifted some stuff, painted lines.

Hoping a visual to look at for awhile now might help with the indecision.

l'll say one thing, it'd be the coolest little place ever, it really would.

lf l went ahead though l sure wouldn't be doing another one in a few yrs time somehwere else though if l wasn't happy here, that is for sure. Only got 1 place left in me, that's it.

Believe me, if you could see my history, you'd get it.
