the big 4 0

Last day of being 39 but I am starting to wonder if I am in mid life crisis or just meds stopped working.

For weeks nothing is enjoyable, of all my hobbies just nothing to me. Gaming, guitar, 3d printing etc dont even blip anything for me. I want nothing, enjoy nothing. Ive tried to feel something in all ways slept with countless just to see if there is a spark of fun but nothing, bought loads of games and nothing.

Not sure about midlife because isnt that buying a sports car, recapturing youth extreme sports kind of thing? or is it because ive already done all that in life that my midlife cant include that or again is it meds are off.

Maybe you need to try new things, stuff you've never done before.

You're a child, Age wise, and judging from your post history, mentally as well.

I tried to do things new but no one wants to be around lately. Its that sad i bought myself a birthday cake, sadly not a joke. Everyone is busy or dont want to have fun. I wanted to book a go kart circuit, group paintball and then buy out a carvery at night for a party. My brother " ive had 2 carvery in the past week" friends are busy ( apparently ).

yes mentally messed up that is true.

What about your 10 kids.

within the past year ive lost alot including them. and no its not about my mental health or ability as a parent, its the mothers. After one took the pee with my childs bank I changed how it works and none of them are happy about it. Slipping extra funds from my kids accounts ive taken their ability away and have to ask an accountant for money or buying things from the accounts.

You may want to clarify to OP if you didn't mean that as an insult.

i already recently had to sit through a K -pop concert with a friend and her daughter, i would rather throw my wedding tackle into a lions mouth and flick him in the love spuds with a wet towel than do that again

Last time I was like that my antipsychotics needed tweaking. But some of what your saying is just getting old, like sex becomes boring when you have had too much. That is one of the great things about being young, the unknown is exiting. As you get old there is less of the unknown to experience, until you meet the final unknown which for some reason scares most people.

I deleted it 40 minutes before. Did you use an app to quote it?

the quote comes from a series called red dwarf
