I'm still over 40. I'm still disabled and it's still getting worse. My body is breaking down faster than most people's do. The pain is basically low level constant and mid level regular with spikes into struggle to breathe through it. The OCD is still carefully kept at bay with all the things I'm meant to do. I do the exercise I should (and can). I've done the therapies, the treatments, I do all the 'right' things.

I can't find suitable work, even in a volunteer role. I will never have a relationship because I don't think I can offer anything worth putting up with everything detrimental. When my remaining parent dies, I will be genuinely alone, no siblings, no family I'm close to. I don't see a way to making things better for myself.

My last post got no replies. I don't actually expect this one to either, because I don't think there is really any advice to be given.

I'm middle aged and disabled. I used to love art and making things. I have ideas. I want to learn, I miss learning. But I don't know if it's really worth it for me, or if I should take up a place a younger, healthier student could have.

As above. I've never heard anything about high school reunions at my high school. My year level would have had a 25th reunion in the last couple of years if it was going to happen. But I seriously have never heard of a reunion for any year at my high school in the hills.

Are they common elsewhere in SA?
