Is anyone else having a 'wobble' about turning 50 next year?

Or am I the only one feeling a bit low about the fact I'll be 50 in 2019? I've actually starting waking up in the early hours panicking about it. My 'D'H doesn't understand at all (he's already turned 50). I think it stems from the fact that I'm likely to be alone in the world one day (have no children) and my parents are sadly starting to show the signs of their age. I have hobbies and a few friends (& work) but feel very alone and unhappy about the fact I've had 50 years on the plant and in all likelihood won't have (or want?) another 50. How is everyone else in this position dealing with this? Does anyone have any words of wisdom or comfort?

Greetings fellow '69ers! I'm not sure I'm too troubled by turning 50 - just can't quite believe it. I don't feel old enough to be 50 if you k ie what I mean!

Yes I completely understand this. I turned 50 this summer and had been dreading it and feeling quite low about it. I planned a party myself and a weekend away with my family and some special outings with friends and my children. I really enjoyed all of these and it took the edge of the birthday itself.

Now I am actually 50, it doesn’t really bother me anymore.
