I can relate to that so much!I'm 35, wasted the last 10 years of my life grieving over my dad's death. Should've just gone at 25. I've never enjoyed life, I think I was born with depression.
You are a good friend to/for me. I am the same as you as far as I have no family nor friends, EXCEPT everyone here on SS. That aspect alone makes me smile each and every day and I want the same for you, my good friend!I'm a weary 60. Got a disabling illness at 35. Have unrelenting, untreatable childhood trauma which repeats itself, almost daily... so, triggered and getting worse day after day. Last two years I've been aging in dog years - don't recognize myself.
I tried so hard for so many decades, sought understanding and healing, learned how to have boundaries and communicate pretty well. I had hope longer than a person has a right to, given the repeat trauma and the illness. I'm a spinster with no friends and a family who pretends to care, but don't. Now I'm just struggling with taking the final step. Looking back 40 would have been an excellent time to ctb, my life has only gotten worse since - But I'd had hope back then. God I wish someone else could do it for me! I'm so scared but also my rent is going way up and I won't be able to afford living for much longer... as if surviving has been living!![]()

It is all over SS, and I had a very crappy childhood filled with trauma and drama, it seems like each and every day, and with that said I wrap my arms around you to let you know that you are a very loving, caring and thoughtful person.
I care about you a lot. I wear my heart on my sleeve, after 67 years on this planet, I am more emotional every day and I really walk with you and we are all in this together, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.
Sending you lots of huge hugs, love, and brilliant blue sunny skies to enjoy. YOU are a very important person to/for me.

I'm 66 soon, never thought l would make it this farAs someone who literally just turned 40... I just want to know if there are other 35+ people on here.... so many of you guys seem to be 20s, even teens... and I hope not younger.
I'm sure some of my posts here would make my age/world-experience pretty obvious.
May be that's why I'm on here just to discuss means/sources - that too because I'm stuck on foreign terrain now.... not really seeking camaraderie... kind of just set in in CTB and all other notions and stuff?
Btw, may be my perspective is informative to someone: I do see one difference in me from most people here... to the extent I've seen posts... I must say that at least until a few years ago, my life has been attended by every kind of success you can think of... excepting may be starting a family - fell too ill before that one. No life-experience really has been frustrating... went to the best schools in the US and elsewhere... high-flying career, an amount of acclaim... quite some $ before even turning 30. Must've crammed 60 years worth by 35. Illness and other circumstances have now caught up with me. But, even these I just think it's what it is.... genius runs on both sides of the family. So too does illness. A lot of very smart, very distinguished, very fragile people all round. Win some, lose some I guess, like in the Joe Pesci movie. So, even this CTB turn, I'm the least bit upset or pensive. I just care that I don't botch it, and don't end up in jail, because, this is India....
