Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

At 43, I explain it this way: I was a scared little shit in my 20's. Now, I'm still a scared little shit, but I take medicine for it! 🤣
You guys are a riot.😂 I'm 69 now and my only fear is dying before my handicapped wife does and leaving her alone.😥
 
There are days when I feel this so much and then days when I crave it.
That is interesting. When I am not here, I have things to do or doing things. I do not feel the need one way or the other.
My fear is living far longer than I want to! 😁
My fear is not living long enough and in good health enough to help my children and grandchildren. I can tell they need me as they call often. I have learned a hard lesson in life, death is not predictable. Nor is life. Oh no I just got into a heavy conversation --- sorry.
 
We had hailstorms here Saturday evening. I had to drive home through a pretty nasty one. A friend who lives a little north of here showed pictures of golf ball-sized hail. 😯
Do you live in the southeast US? I ask because we had hailstorms here in Arkansas too.

I’ve been working hard on improving my health (mental and physical) so I can enjoy my retirement, children, grandkids (if my kids have any), and plenty of traveling, when the time comes. I just don’t see myself wanting to live much past 85 unless medicine advances enough to make 85 seem like 50.

No issues with heavy conversations here! It’s chaos. Almost anything goes here!
 
Exactly how I feel. Sometimes I think about just closing my account and moving on. Other days I will spend hours talking (texting) here.

I think it’s directly related to how introverted I’m feeling on a particular day.
Don't give up like that, you are talking to someone with bipolar disorder, (Google that!) I can Never miss a dose of my Latuda. I have to take it till my time is up. You have sooo much to live for. Just look for it.

I have major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ADHD for the trifecta. I am militant about taking my meds. I’ve seen the result and it is not pretty…
 
Clarification - I sometimes do WANT to come here when I want advice, discuss something I cannot discuss around family, or see that someone could use my insight from a vintage perspective.

We must be brothers, same here! My solution is, I also take diabetes medicine, 10 tablets will do damage, I have 60 waiting for me, enough to stop a Mack truck or I have my Glock.

I’m definitely not at that point yet, but it is something to consider once I turn 70. Maybe a firearm that I can keep in the safety deposit box.

It's sad how often neuropsychiatricly deviants have mental health issues, too. The world made by "normals" isn't always very adaptive.

I'm surprised at myself for divulging such things on this main page. You have a family that would miss and cry for you, I have absolutely no-one left. My wife has family, maybe she would miss me.

I bet she would 100% miss you. When I was quite young I had thoughts of self deletion. What kept me from doing it was the thought of just how it would destroy my parents. I could never bring myself to cause so much pain.
 
I doubt more and more that anyone fits the “normal” mold. Normal is just an average, it doesn’t mean anyone is actually there.
In this context I simply referred to neuropsychiatric non-deviant. Those not ADHD or autistic, not having Tourette or some brain damage.
