55 on Tuesday

 

[outrider567]

Been here for a while and everyone here are good people, but I think I'm older than most here, I was wondering anyone over 40s out there and possibly could there be a separate Forum on here for the over Fortys?

67, but I look like I'm only 50

 

[Al Cappella]

57, but I could easily pass for a 56 year old…

Mid 40s here

 

[locked*n*loaded]

56 here. I've lasted a while. Been a good run. Made it further than I thought I would. Winding down now, though.

 

[Meaninglessness]

I have never wanted to die from old age. I have always looked younger than I am, but as time goes by, no one can avoid aging. You will get age-related aiments, diseases and chronic ailments. Everything will get worse with time. Eventually, the whole body breaks down. When I was younger, I never thought that I would live more than fifty years, but in the same way that the clock goes, I have lived this long against my will. I believe that if humans live long enough, we will all get suicidal because of the high life expectancy. I think that there is no dignity in getting to old and disabled - the old man loses everything: his appearance, his health and his family. I do not want to end up in a wheelchair in a nursing home. I have to find a way so that I will not reach old age.

59 here. I feel like there is nothing left for me. Every day is the same with no end in sight. I'm just living without purpose right now.

I'm 40. Back posting here after a close shave in the summer, when I bought everything I need for night-night. Things going low again now, so returned.

40, planning on ctb on my 50th bday... If I can make it that long.

41. Quite happy to be a part of the main forum, I don't think it makes sense to have a separate section for wrinkles, we're better together in a tight group, everyone contributes and the benefits are clear to me

Funny I know I won't die of old age - I will decide when my life ends. I've know that from when I was a child. I've also known I've never wanted to make old bones. I've worked so hard all my life and now I'm getting towards retirement the world has gone to shit.

 

[Little T]

over 60
I've been sad since 5 and have had suicidal thoughts since 13. With my father gone, last of my family, it's time to go.
College educated yet too old to hire and too young to retire.

 

[Chronicoverwhelm]

I'm 45. Wanted to cease to exist since 8 years old. Didn't expect to reach 16, 20, 30, 40.... all against my will. I tried to CTB at 19 years old and not a day goes by where I didn't wish it had been successful as life keeps getting worse & worse. I'm still here until my dog departs. I used to wrack my brain over the years, for ways to leave that would look like an accident so as not to hurt friends or family. I've desperately hoped for a terminal illness my entire life. But life is so bad now, that I've almost made peace with people knowing that I CTB.

I am not sure if I feel sorry that I wasnt successful with committing suicide when I was a teen or when I was in my twentys. The hole life of my family would have been different, so much pain for them.

I'm in the 60's club. Been riding this rollercoaster since mid-20's. It sucks!

what did you buy may I ask?

 

[Betsy007]

I'm in my late 40s and I can't believe I'm still walking the earth. Good to know there are so many Gen Xers (and older) here. Love to the youngsters as well, but get off my lawn .

 

[TimetoGo!]

42 and here because I hate life.........I was successful a businessman until various things went wrong , mainly covid and staff, and now I am in heavy debt and it is suffocating me. I am not the same person anymore. I am a bundle of stress and anxiety and I have wanted to leave this world for a long time now

at least you were successful before (& as a businessman too, which my Chinese parents would be so proud of)..
whereas i've never been successful at all.. it hurts to know that my life is just a series of failures..
although i've used to have some 'achievements' (idk if they could even be called 'achievements' though.. ) in music, but it's still just relatively small & not too well-known.. but yeah those were some of the best times in my life too actually..
now all that's left is just an empty shell of me.. at 40 yrs old now, my life is going nowhere.. my parents probably are heavily disappointed in me (as their eldest son who can't do anything).. i've always had suicidal ideation almost everyday now..

 

[Willto]

In the waiting room as well. No hope for a better future.

Comsumed by regret that I haven't amounted to much in life.
So many lost and wasted opportunites that i can't undo.
sucks !
