We all die alone

My parents have been married several decades and they always say they're not taking the other with them so they'll die alone lol.

Are you uncomfortable with that?

I’m 50 and alone...never been in a relationship. I’m starting to be afraid of growing old and dying alone. Everyone else in my family has someone else. They care about me, but have their own lives and families to focus on.

@LA 1: your destiny is in your hands and your hands alone. If being in a relationship is not important —- then carry on.

But if you are looking for a relationship; a relationship isn’t going to show up in the mailbox. You gotta put yourself out there and look for a mate.

With all of the other people who prefer being alone

That would be ok unless you really want a partner - which can be a pain but is mostly a great life altering thing for the better in my opinion - but if you’re very happy the way things are then just enjoy it.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm super anxious/jittery today. A little dazed off too.

It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.
