| Anonymous Coward User ID: 82087405  United States08/19/2022 06:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honestly, Opie, I can't relate. I've been playing for over 40 years and I don't think I've ever felt that way about music. I've taken breaks from time to time, but have never felt that way. I'm over 50, don't get out much any more. I don't play as much as I used to, but once I pick it up and start working on something, it consumes my day(s). You might remember the feeling. Forget the doom. The world isn't going to end. You have plenty of time to put together anything you want. Pick the most productive part of your day (for me it's morning) and plug in. Nature will take its course. Forget ageism, come out hard and heavy and fuck anyone that doesn't approve. You have to be in it to satisfy your own needs. If other people like it (there is always a crowd that will), that's a bonus. If they don't, that's their problem. |

Interest in everything has dried completely. Music almost makes me nauseous. I can't get into anything other than my job (because I must survive), sleep, exercise, food and very basic household chores. Maybe this is a sign that the end is near? I wonder why... At this point of history, you're just virtue signaling. Most people worldwide on the ternetz, only drink's, do drugs and post the nonsense that are happening in their heads under the influence of these substances. Or maybe this a more "local" trend, like on GLP? Or this is just me? This is very likely just me. But yeah, you're a virtue signaling douche, fk off. You want red eh?

EDTA chlorella spirulina Alpha lipoic acid etc... like every other thread, this one will be for some reason deleted from the message board forever when you try to review it. lay off the thread deletions much? Ironically, the opening post reminded me of myself when I abused amphetamines. At first, you're on top of the world, no time for chit chat. Then you end up needing it for normal energy. It's like any chemical addiction I'm aware of. I'm with you on the detox, but careful with EDTA. Go slowly. ...Loving souls, starving trolls... |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78477607 United States08/19/2022 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can somewhat relate to what you are experiencing. For me it happened a few years ago. I had several friends that died at a young age. Married at 19 and divorced at 21 LoL. I quit listening to music and quit hanging with friends because the ones still alive moved away and started their own families. I was alone. I had projects and hobbies that I worked on though but the passion for life was gone. What kind of music were you fond of? I listened to Billy Idols Kings and Queens of the Underground. Might not be your cup of tea but I freaking love it. So that "ageism" thing is just in your head. Look at how old Billy is today. He isn't the young punk rocker he was in the 80s but he still has it You will break out of whatever you are going through. Coming here and speaking your mind was good and maybe someone here can post something to help you |

Seriously going to look in to a naturopath, hate to visit my doctor, he orders blood tests, pushes the vax and prescribes blood pressure pills, he tried the cholesterol thing but no way would I go for that. You know they are not really acting as doctors are they, they are more like technicians, they identify a problem and use standard practice decided by someone else right. |

No, you’re right, it doesn’t if one has the right mindset... it’s just that they can draw upon past glories not available to the average guy to propel them into the future, along with a social net made up of millions of fans to reinforce them. The biggest hurdle to overcome for a lot of older people, no matter how giving or talented, is that they are well and truly alone and, for the most part, forgotten. |
