I hear ya, Skitz. I'm 55 and don't seem to belong anywhere either. Too old to be considered for a lot of jobs, too young for Social Security, and not disabled enough for SSDI. I'm rapidly running out of unemployment benefits and can't go back to my nursing career because I can't handle it physically or mentally.

However.....I'm sticking around to see what happens. I don't have a choice. I got pretty down in mid-June and had some suicidal ideation, but I waited it out and now I'm glad I did, even though my life situation hasn't improved. You can do it too.....there really is a purpose to your life, even if it's not clear at this moment in time.

Sending you good thoughts and positive energies!
