What was your biggest issues in each time period (a decade) of your life?

With each 10 years our problems and issues changes. For eg.

1-10 yrs : Feeding I guess.🙂
10-20 : Teenage issues. Controlling parents, Need for freedom. Love, Boyfriend/Girlfriend drama
20-30 : Relationship issues, Unemployment.
30-40 : Family issues, Mortgage, financial issues
40-50 : Teenage children driving you nuts, First signs of health issues, divorce
50-60 : Health issues. Loneliness 😖
60-70 : Many issues...can't remember 🤔

So what was the biggest problems of your life in each decade of your life?

@SW-User It's difficult to imagine what you've been through. How are you handling it? I hope you found your strength to go through life.

@Renkon I don't think it's something you just get over ...it's something you have to learn to work through and manage the best you can . I try to let those experiences build me and make me stronger rather than break me . That said ...I have good days and bad days too ...

@SW-User I apologise if I am going too far; is your depression and anxiety the result of thetraumaticexperience in the past?

SW-User

@Renkon nah ...

Most likely and also other factors I'm sure

@SW-User Great sailors are usually found in the battered vessels. Hats off to you.

@Renkon Thanks but I don't need special accolades

@SW-User Fair enough.

There is this lady who works with me. Her entire life has been a struggle. Marriage was supposed to provide her with some reprieve. It only made everything worse.

She always arrives smiling. She spends each day as if it were her last. She gave up on any hope of a better future. On rare times, she will share this with me.

You reminded me of her for a moment. Take good care of yourself.
