This it It For Me

Hello

I am 42 something and have been divorced for almost a decade. I don't have children either. I am very stuck in my ways. I can't look in a mirror anymore. All I see is an old unattractive woman. I don't recognize myself. I feel invisible. Is this it?

I have lost confidence in all aspects of my life. I don't date, I don't like being in public, and shy away from job interviews because I look old and feel old.

I stopped shopping and buying nice clothes for myself. I am slowly giving up on trying to look decent. I don't do my nails or hair anymore.

I have given up on marriage all together, and that also means no sex. I don't believe in no strings sex.

I think about letting my condo go and moving to a greener place. I live in a cat box called Denver.

I hope I don't have another 40 years being alone. Yikes. This is not for me.
