Anyone just done with life at middle age

Anyone else feel in their forties feel they’ve just had enough of life? I feel it’s all such an effort for such a mediocre life. Constant drudgery and daily grind for the occasional joy such as holidays. If I was told tomorrow I only have 6 months to live I think I’d feel relieved.

Perhaps you should talk to someone. Even if life is a bit low you don't know what awaits.

Life in my 40s was a bit varied with two teen girls it could be amazing or exasperating, seldom dull.

That sounds rough OP. I've certainly had a difficult few years myself. Apparently happiness is a U shaped curve, so we're at the bottom of it mid life. But that does mean things get better.

Yes, I feel like this, I've assumed its a combination of peri-menopause and my joyless, all-consuming job with dickhead manager.

Have you hit the peri menopause? Your feelings are usual during the menopause. We have hormone changes five years before our periods go haywire.

Never felt that way. Might you be depressed?
