I don't think you're a failure just because you're middle aged and single. It's better to be single than to be in a toxic relationship. It just says that you haven't been willing to settle for just anyone.

If you're unhappy in your job, you're not too old to think about doing something new. Do you have any hobbies that you might turn in to a new career with a little education or a small business loan? These are just suggestions to get you going, if you get the way I'm thinking. Change the things you can about yourself and accept the things you can't. Get a dog or a cat to keep you company. Often caring for an animal will give you a sense of pride and companionship. Don't put too much stock in self-help books. They often make you feel worse about yourself because you feel you don't measure up to their lofty ideals.

Wake up every morning and look around you. Look for beauty in the world and the people around you. Learn something new every day, even if it's just a new word. Be glad to be healthy and alive. Read a good book, and find a favorite author. Go to museums and wonder at the creativity of artists and sculptors. Never give up on yourself.

Well, first of all... YOU AIN'T MIDDLE-AGED!

'Cause, I'm almost 46, and I am middle-aged.

And I'm single.

And I'm in a dead-end job.

But, I love my dead end job.

Anyway, you are not a failure, as long as you keep making new dreams and new goals and keep trying to meet them.

But you asked for a website, so I will go and hunt down some for ya... maybe some of the ones I've used in the past to help myself..

Hang on... be right back with those links...

Ok, here are some links that I stuck in a Favorites File that I named, "The Middle Ages":

This one is very nice... take some time to look around this site: http://www.middleage.org/index.shtml

Another good article: http://www.bestyears.com/identity.html

Ok, this is an article I haven't read... it looks too long and boring... but you might like it... or not... http://www.hope.edu/academic/psychology/335/webrep2/crisis.html

There's not a lot out there, but I hope one of the first two links will be helpful to you.

You are 36!!! Wow!!!! Start dreaming!
I'm 46 and still dreaming... and attempting to fulfill those dreams... yeah, it's a bit of a challenge with a dead-end job, but hey, even if they're only illusions, they're great illusions.

I'm sending you the website of an on line magazine for women that I really enjoy visiting now and then as well as another site where you can find lots of quizzes and fun stuff to do. I'm not saying that you should neglect your feelings or that your problems are not really that important. I'm just suggesting that you take some time to do things which can be enjoyable and help you cope when difficult times come, OK? Hope you have fun! (At least I do!).

Answer 5

For inspiration I recommend you get away from the computer, get out of the house and find someplace to volunteer your time. There are always organizations that welcome volunteer help. You would get to meet other people and find other opportunities. And with all those new people might come the opportunity for a better job and companionship.
