Does anyone feel old and useless with age?

Yes, I do .... I'm 80 and in good health with the exception of a knee replacement and I had a small lump removed from my breast about 9 months ago. My kids are all grown, I have moved down to be near them but since they work I rarely see them, I no longer have a car (accident which totaled it), live in a less-than-desirable senior apartment, cannot find a church which "fits." I do a lot of reading and walking and I'm starting to do an aerobics tape I did several years ago. Otherwise, I feel like I'm just biding my time til it's over. I know that is awful to say, but it's true. I do see a Psy.MD for depression and anxiety and take meds., but it doesn't take the sense that I'm sitting in a corner somewhere watching the world go by without me. Barb

I have those feelings on occasion. I have gotten better since joining the Senior Center in my town. It’s someplace to go and be with other people. Things to do and places to go. Changed my outlook. 🩷
