Has anyone out there ever felt so invisable that the air they breathe didn't even make a difference? I see that commercial on tv about mothers feeling invisable and I know who that feels, but it is worse when you get close to retirement and no one seems to see you or hear you. It's like you are a non-person. I don't even expect anyone to answer or comment to this message decasue they won't even see!

Oh sure I feel invisible at times. My looks have faded & I don't get that obvious physical attention anymore practically, but it did come on gradually! Oh too be hung up on the "lack of things" & our feelings about them.....it's all the scheme of hell to keep us from a spirit of fullness!
Even as a nurse for 20 yrs. I'd say most of the time I "feel" just like another cog in the wheel. Sure we "feel" lonely or even out right alone. Friends can come & go, BUT.. I'll always have Jesus. He gives me beauty for ashes( a big one) strength for fear, gladness for mourning, peace for despair.
The Devil would love to run amok my soul, to put a hook here & a foothold there, But i keep pressing on, thinking of God's blessings instead!

The Holy Spirit strengthens the will. If one walks in the Spirit, they don't live in their feelings.
The power is in you to laugh at Devil when he tries to tell your soul to be fearful, angry, lonely, withdrawn, depressed, inadequate, bitter, etc.,etc.-
"I'm dead to that!"...For the Son has made me free indeed. Any questions?
Jesus is the answer!

Believe me you are not alone. As life moves on and everybody starts to do there thing, it is so easy to be without some one to tend to or some emergency to handle. My first few months of retirement had me wandering 'is this all there is?' Then I started volunteering at a church, which led to tutoring young adults to get there GED's which led to this site, and before I knew it My whole day is filled with constructive stuff to do and I feel great. So will you if you keep hanging around here. The only thing invisible around this forum is the paycheck, but it is rewarding

I read this post a couple of times. Yes, as a matter of fact, I feel invisible too. It's funny how I had just mention something along these lines to my brother a couple of weeks ago. I feel like nobody sees me all the time. I think it's because we tend to not really tell other people and other people tend not to really hear us. I mean really hear and really listen. Some times you just want to stop and scream, I'm here!!!! I don't know what to do about it, but it is good to know that I am not the only one.
