If I understand correctly this will be a thread for people over 60, is that Correct? If it is, I am in.

Yes. I'm 64. I find I have a slightly different take on things due to my age.

I started this thread after seeing posts about older people. Who turned out to be in their thirties!

I've been following your posts and wish you and Sweet Pea some peace.

Yep

Great!

I feel knackered now!

I love your avatar painting. I'm bipolar and the night sky looks just like that when I'm high.

Young people on here want to ctb and do. Yet I'm still hanging on.

My life has been absolute rubbish. Some good bits in there but empty over all.

Why can't I just go????

I'm not 60, can I come in for stories?

 

[OldDrummer]

Boo! I'm in my early 50's!

Yes. I love stories.

Even with young ppl, the percentage that ctb is very low. Life, as much as it is ultimately fragile, hangs on like a burr on the ass of a sheepdog. I feel you, as it's the same for me…

Not sixty but old enough. How come all of these mature poster threads become abandoned after a day or so?

Maybe there should be a section so that these threads don't get lost amongst the general forum posts. These posts seem foreign compared to the main content on this site.

Yes. You're right. Maybe I'll make a suggestion.

I like the main forums but sometimes I feel I have a different perspective.

 

[rationaltake]

I've started a thread in the suggestions forum.

I'm wondering if there will be any interest!

I feel the same.

I turned 60 thirty years ago. Seems like ancient history.

I'm currently off and on about CTB. I'd kind of like to just do it and be out of everything, but there are some social issues that keep coming up that makes me want to wait a while.

Hello:, I didn't know this thread existed, found it accidentally. Where is it located so I can find it. Very shocking to me how life has changed so drastically, in all issues, when I got older. Probably many have reasons still to want to live, but, I'm sure alot don't.. myself for sure.

Hello Cat, are you a VanGogh or Don McLean fan?

I turned 54 last month but I feel much, much older (physically speaking, for sure).

I feel very disconnected from my 'friends' and classmates I grew up with because they're now all at the stage of life where they're nearing retirement, are talking about their grown kids getting married or their kids' careers, and now, in the last few years, more and more of them about their grandkids. While I feel very old physically I feel stunted in every other way as I have none of those things or accomplishments, my health is worse than most of the people I know, and I simply feel still feel like a needy, helpless child in so many way. Yet my body grows older and saggier and I face more and more age-related scenarios and issues every year. It's very confusing and hard to know how to navigate, especially when there's nobody in my real life I can talk to about this stuff who understands.

So it'd be great to have a space or forum or thread dedicated to us 'older folks' to discuss our more specific feelings and outlook and struggles!

I'm only 51

I'm similar to you. I have none of the things people usually have at my age.

But I'm getting older. So I know what you mean.
