Answers:
hi,you are the only person i have ever answered at this site and it is because i am exactly where you are..i totally relate..have you ever thought about learning a new craft? like knitting,crochet,quilting? sometimes that's all that saves me..pick something easy and it can be very therapeutic and you can make yourself feel good by making something for someone you love! also,try to sit down and make a realistic list of at least 1 thing you would like to accomplish every day..even if it's only starting a new book,or trying some new makeup..doesn't have to be anything fancy..most importantly..try to be good to yourself..i know easier said than done..feel free to email me if you need a friend..sometimes that;s part of the problem as well..take care.bluemoon55@sbcglobal.ne.

Other Answers:
If you are able to leave your residence, then you should consider volunteering - a school, hospital, nursing home - for those people are often quite lonely and need someone with whom they can talk.
It could mean the world to both that person and you.
Age 50 should be a wonderful age - not one where you feel old and useless. Find ways that will help fulfill you and give you a purpose.

God bless and good luck!

I'm much older then you but I have never felt that I'm old. You know I think I'm still in early 30, the only diff. is that I have much more experience than 30years old kids. Never think you are old and try to make your self updated to news and development, socialize with people at all ages and do whatever you can to contribute to society and not for yourself. hey if you feel weak or less stamina, you can try Ayurvedic health powders, log on to www.planetayurveda.com. It is really nice that you love to help people and want to be a useful person. keep up the good work you youqa.com. and do try to answer the questions that i have --- Is it possible to forget first love and love second time.?? with whom the sexual experience more memorable ?.

Hi julia b,

I can relate to what you are saying, I am 51. Sometimes I feel old too. I decided to take this time in my life to get involved with things I like to do. I found that I thoroughly enjoy researching my ancestry, and I enjoy writing poetry. I also took some on-line classes through the University of Phoenix. All of these things are rewarding for me and I can do them on-line. You need to seek things that interest you and go from there.

Here are a few of my favorite Internet sites.
Volunteering in your community check out this website to get you started: http://www.pointsoflight.org/

Searching your ancestry and creating a family tree check out these sites: http://www.ancestry.com/ and http://www.familysearch.org/

Poetry go to this site: http://www.poetry.com/welcome/welcome.asp

I hope you find something that interest you. You can email me, if you like, and we can discuss this more in depth.
