I'm learning things I never knew. I still get a thrill when I see my husband in his cute little swimming trunks. Is it getting hot in here?:D

Hi, Just Dahlia!

I went through one when I was in my early 40's. It was mainly about what I have accomplished for the time that I've had, and what I would be able to accomplish for the time that I have left as well as very strong thoughts about my own mortality.

Thanks!

Did you do anything that was out of the ordinary for you? Or did you just have your thoughts and re-group:)

There has to be an answer:confused:

Because sometimes it seems a better option than to rock the boat, even if you yourself are not happy with it.

Changing things is not easy

If I weren't happy in the boat... I believe I'd get out! Then again, there may be something or someone important enough to stay and not rock the boat:)

There were three or four years where I was concerned about who I was and where I was going with my life as well as having an obsession about my own death.

One thing that didn't help me at all, was the obsession that I would die at the age of 45. That thought had haunted me since my mid-thirties. Once I made it through my 45th year, I realized that it had been a very irrational thought and that I could go on with my life, unfettered by irrational thoughts about the future.

I used to think that some random thoughts that come into a person's head can be true about the future. I now know that isn't true that just because a person thinks something is true, that it can or will be true.

Matters about faith are a different matter to me entirely, though...
