I am 49 years old, and have the opportunity to retire next year when I turn 50, I know to most this sounds fantastic, but I have found lately I am getting depressed, I have no idea what I would do with myself. Even though I dont enjoy my job any more, I have been in the career field for 25 years now. It is a very negative career field and I want something up lifting and positive. I feel like Im starting to get into a depression and I want to get ahold of it, that is why I found this site. I am afraid if I retire, I will just sit around and get more and more depressed. I just want to tell myself, Snap out of it!!! So far its not working.
