Coming up to 40

Im 39. I feel sad coming up to 40.

First of all I had a very tough early life with no love and with poverty. So at this age, I feel exhausted. That I've been through a lot.

I haven't achieved much.
I'm single.
I don't have a good job.
I don't have a lot of family. Ive one brother , he is no support.
I don't have a lot of friends.
I just feel exhausted.

I feel like coming up to turning 40 feels sad.

If you're single and in your 40s what do you do with your life please?

I'm.in my 40s and single.

I remember being g 39 and fearing turning 40, but actually it has been great.

I spent my 20s not knowing who I was
I spent my 30s fretting and stressing about not achieving what I was "meant" to be achieving

My 40s, so far, have been accepting who I am.

I understand you may not feel like you have achieved much, but I suspect you have.

40s isn't the end, I promise.
