Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?

Have a great day!

Excertped from Doubletake column on WBAL

I am 39½ years old. I always thought I would not make it to see my 40th birthday. Is there a support group for men and women either turning or who have already turned 40?

I am overweight and all I wanted was to lose my weight before I turned 40 (I decided that at 38).I have a good job, I own my own house, my son is almost 19 and I have been amicably divorced for 5 years now. I love the house that I live in and I don’t see changing jobs as an option but I am also lonely sometimes.

I am beginning to feel like I will be an old maid with 50 cats. I guess you might say I am having a mid-life crisis and I don’t know what to do about it. I need help. I need to talk to other people my age or slightly older who survived turning 40 and hopefully now enjoy life.
