When the years behind you seem greater than the years ahead.
Let this be a place for Midlifers (aged approx 45-65) battling a mundane life, loss of self-confidence or a full blown existential dilemma. Share your stories, triumphs, coping mechanisms or just come and vent, but don’t bring the politics, vilification, spam or non-constructive criticism, as the clock is ticking for all of us and life is too short to waste on the hate.
