Feeling defeated

[Vcal2017]

I’m 53: probably menopausal, take HRT and anti-depressants. I’m a teacher. I was performance managed out of a role earlier this year. My performance did decline, but I was working in difficult conditions. I’m a single parent. I function but I’m never happy. I may inherit money in the future from my Dad, but he’s in better shape than I am. Currently working casually as a supply teacher. The AIBU is this: is it unreasonable to feel bitter and sad because non of my dreams came true? I can vaguely remember a time when I had goals for myself, but 16 years of just hanging on and not slipping off the edge has taken its toll.

I’m your age and Ive developed a low feeling due to my time of life. A ‘what’s it all for?’, ‘Is this it?’ gloom.
So no, YANBU. But I don’t think SM helps either.
I’ve decided to find my happy, and that’s shower and PJ’s by 8pm every night, and bed at 10. Clean my house every week, and gym 2/3 times a week. If that makes me boring, so what!

I'm a teacher 55. No inheritance and no partner . I am leaving this year, taking early retirement and going to get an easier job to supplement my pension. I'm.not resentful, but am a little disappointed with my situation. Resentment will eat away at you OP. I'd try and take a different spin on things OP if you can. Good luck k.
