When we’re young life feels very long. When we’re older it went too fast. Just how it is.
I think 58 is the perfect age to try a new hobby. What type of things are you into?

I play my guitar and banjo a lot…I would love to take up leather craft but it costs money to set that up and I am poor…maybe my mom would help me with the cost…never thought of that…thank you @Alice for making me think.

I am 60, I was diagnosed with Sc three years ago, I didn’t realize or feel old until psychosis, when I came out of hospital hearing voices, I suddenly aged 10 years. How long have u had sc, have u cut back on meds since beginning

I bet you could find some local people who would play with you. Banjo jam sessions, nothing public. That could be fun.

I agree with @Alice being part of a jam session sounds like it’d be fun for you and get you out of the house a bit

In. March I’ll be 59. The time has flown by. It seems like it was only yesterday that I was in my thirties unloading trucks at Sears.

I will be 60 in 16 more days. It seems like just yesterday I turned 30 years old. I don’t feel old. I’m in great shape physically, mentally and spiritually. I feel like I’m about 30 years old. I look 60 however.

You don’t look like you are 60 @SkinnyMe
You look a lot younger.

Why thank you, @Wave for that nice complement! Most people guess me at much older than I am.

One thing all of us can say , despite our varying levels of struggle , is that we are survivors . Severe mental illness threw a curve ball at us , but it’s not a case of 3 strikes and out .
For sure, it may have, well for me certainly, included a degree of luck . The several suicide attempts between the ages of 18 and 27 could have meant I never got to being 63 .
Wow I am 60 as well but unlike most of u I didn’t develop Sc until I was 57, I hear voices but I think the meds are helping, dr cut meds in half this month cause he wants try new meds, been 6 days only hear faint sounds at bed time, I think I aged 10 years when I came thru psychosis
