To think it can be hard to stay positive in middle age

So much to cope with. DM died earlier this year. Struggling to find a job for months now. Health issues of my own aplenty. Anyone relate?

Not really, but I'm sending you good wishes anyway. Many condolences on your loss.

For me, my twenties were the tough time that I felt that I couldn't go on through
I very nearly didn't make it, so anything is better than that. I also don't have kids, which probably makes a difference. This too will pass.
