Hi,
I too have some difficulty calling anyone 'loser'. You're here, looking for help. You haven't lost. One loses only when one stops trying.
I'm not as old as some here, but I am well into my 40's. I've had problems for quite some time, all the way back to my pre-school days.
I tried to handle things on my own until just a few years ago. It didn't work. I have gone from the highs of mania to the deepest debths of depression and back again for as long as I can remember. I have at times felt my life to be an utter waste. I think I know whereof you speak.
I can't stop from feeling bad, not just yet, but I still pray that I will feel better someday. There is a post, right beneath your post, that I wrote a couple days ago; I think it might speak to what you are saying here. There are lots of people here with lots of experience. Just because you are middle aged doesn't mean that the young people here can't help; you may have lived longer, but most of us know something about how you fee.
Wishing you peace,
Dee.
