Turn 40 single, no kids no job, feeling very unhappy, most of my mates have left the country so no I feel alone, had a few flings last year.
Ive had a good 40 years but it seem now I feel like crap, I'm aging feeling that i'm getting old, I feel that life is **** and woke up crying, I was depressed end of last year and refused medication.
What do you do when you turn 40 and realised that your dreams will not come true, and feel that your waiting to die.
It all started when I found some broken asbestos in my flat it sent me into depression, been told it was low risk that i'd ever get any negative effects, it sent my anxiety levels high thinking about it.
On top of that I live alone which does not help, I just feel pretty low. i go to the gym 4 times a week.
I'm confused, this really sounds like a grass is always greener attitude.
I'm 34 in a month, been with the same girl since we were 15, married 6 years, have a mortgage, a 3 year old daughter and 10 week old son.
Love my family but 90% of the things I want to do I can't, either its too dangerous now or too expensive. Base jumping off angel falls, worth the risk? nice fast 2 seater 350z, nope, need 4 seats..
You are in the perfect position to plan your life out and do whatever the hell you want. You have a blank slate and no ties, you should be super happy.
Get a factory job for a 6 months and then go backpacking! Move abroad with your friends and do something there. I might be able to put you in touch with people in the gaming industry but you'd have to move to Gibraltar
So what if your dreams haven't worked out! I should have retired 3 years ago from the RAF as a pilot and been flying for airlines since, that didn't happen but you have to move on. Make new dreams
Make a list of what you want to do, realise that yes, some of it will never happen, then start to plan how you'll accomplish the rest
You can do it!
