To think that my 50's will be a nightmare?

[Allinadaystwerk]

I'll turn 50 in a few months. I'm fairly recently separated (6months ago...quite traumatic still trying to recover) have a dc age 12 and three adult dc. I'm dreading my 50's. All I see or hear about is menopause, fading looks and health problems. Am I right or is there light?
How have/are your 50's treated/ing you?

And yes 51 is almost 60 in my book

Nonsense! Do 11 year olds go around saying "OMG I'm nearly 20!" Or 21 year olds exclaim "I'm almost 30 you know."
