Re: I can't focus enough to read all these other topics, so I'll start my own.

Thanks Dougie,

You’ve done a great job of voicing the same feelings a lot of us in our 40’s feel, give or take about 20, lol. So many in our forties though…

I’m happy to hear you’re getting some help with the drink. For me it’s “The disease called more” It’s not jut booze I’ve got to be aware and/or afraid of. All the behaviors, chemicals, flesh, comedy, Music even!… all of the stuff that makes the dopamine flow into my brain and give me the temporary fix. “More” is only a temp. Solution. Moderation is my key to happiness. Starting with moderation of how much time I spend here most recently.

I ain’t no expert, that’s all I’m sure about.

Here I hope you’ll find guidance to the correct diagnosis and treatment. You’ll find more permanent solutions. There’s a chance you’ll end up taking less medication overall, like me. This will be hard work. Hang tough, this web site is in the midst of expansion and change, you’ll learn patience. This will help you. Please stick around. Grab on to your patience and never let go… “Keep coming back” here as well as there. It works. (If you work it)

Trashman

I’m going through a very similar problem as yours. I’m 47, found out sat. My daughter will be moving 2 states away in less than a month. She’s almost done with her Internship at a top University. I’m less educated (Obviously to some of ya) It should probably say at University, right???? (wild guess) I just don’t get English. Enywayzzz.

I get what you say Trashman. I feel that desperate desire to help my own flesh and blood, but know I can’t grow up for her. I can’t feel her pain for her. Nobody could have grown me up but me. Not that I’m done. You get what I’m saying though. Every part of you is getting better, healthier. Maybe give yourself a break. Perfect parents rarely exist in this world. It’s likely you’re more perfect for your son, than anyone else. We all need more than just our parents to become grown men. Let him feel his growing pains, listen. Care. The rest is just magic.
