I’m nearly your age, feel the same. What I’m doing is hitting a pause button. Until I can overwhelmingly — and rationally — choose one alternative over another, I am here in the background, simply thinking. JUst thought you might like to know you have company.
Last year, at age 53, I had the same feelings and was hospitalized. The feelings started at age 51, but in retrospect I realize I’ve always been depressed.
well most of us feel the same way!!! isn’t that wonderful!!, the older you get the smarter you get and you realize all this crap of surviving isn’t what it cracked up to be 🙂 I’m ready to go myself I got the method, and I got the materials, but even though I’m all set, I am sticking around for things to get worse? well it will be the absolutely last thing I’ll ever do, so now that I know what to do I see no reason to rush, but there are days when I feel like getting it over with.
I’ll be 59 in about 5 weeks. I’ve only posted here about 3 or 4 times over the 2 or 3 years I’ve been following (sporadically) the board. For me, the question is no longer “why didn’t I die 5 years ago after suffering all of these heart/cardiac related illnesses?” but is now become a simple statement of fact: “I have neither seen nor experienced ANYTHING that convinces me it’s worth staying alive.”
So it’s a strange consolation to finally read a series of posts from people my own age who are just as sick and tired of staying alive just to prevent others from feeling sad about my making a final exit on my own terms. Those people are rarely “there for you” and rarely have time for you in the buys lives….they’ll soon forget and get over it.

Im almost 24 and Ive been depressed my whole life. Thanks for your post dragonfly_whisper I guess thats a good way to think. Put yourself on pause
Whyyyy: Don’t pause TOO long. One may delay death, yet enjoy life while awaiting a final decision. Please consider doing so?
