Marie:What a coincidence! A magic age? 46 for me too and I suddenly fell apart. Or so it seemed to everyone on the outside.
I, too have a normal life – job, wife, kids. Depression and anxiety. Maybe normal as well but unrecognized and unreported by most. I think a large part of my depression has resulted from twenty years of unresolved problems and the stress of trying to keep it together. Not major, traumatic problems but too much concern about just ‘getting’ there and forgetting to enjoy the journey.
I am 48 now and have had to examine a lot of things in my life over the past 2 years. I can say that I feel the trend is up now and not down as before. I lost a couple of friends by admitting my problems – but as it turns out they were not really friends, were they?
