lately I am feeling more and more like this. I want to do a lot of things and yet unable to do as my kids are too young. I had them quite late my daughter is just one year old and my son is eight year old and I am suddenly feeling so old at 36. I feel life will pass and I wont be able to do naything except grow old. Do you also feel like this sometime that you plan to do a lot of things but can not as time is just running past you and you are stuck in a moment or situation?

I didn't when the Kids where small but I had mine at 23 and 26 so there is a difference but now I do since I have been Ill and not being able to work and that
I have just adjusted to the fact that I will have to live it as good as I can

I know I just started learning computers two years back and then enjoyed programming so muxh that did a full fledged course of it but then I feel I have wasted so much of money and what if I never can get a job after this. I wish I had my kids that early, I sometimes get so tired looking after them. If only I had them when I was young and energetic may be I would have brought them up differently.

We all feel like that at times but soon he time will pass and you will wonder what happened, enjoy your children but always find time for yourself! Take a nice hot bubble bath and read a book, its the litle things at this point that make us happy.
Every Mom needs time for herself once in awhile so fon't feel guilty for wanting some me time!

I am married in army and due to always shifting I have never been able to hold on to a job and then kids happen and so much more just kept happening that now as I look back, I feel where did my life went. Anyway thanks for listening.

I feel like that at 41 YEARS OF AGE, AFTER HAVING HAD ACCIDENTS AND OPERATIONS, ONE DIVORCE BEHIND ME AND NO fixed abode..The internet is the only thing that provides for me a bit of sanity in my chaotic life. I wanted to do so much yet I feel I have accomplished so little and this is when I can get mega frustrated but what can I do? I can only do my best and that is that. I can cry in a corner, which I sometimes do or work my proverbial off to kill the time that is passing by. You are definitely not the only one.

I also feel that too, when I look back I feel so many mistakes and bad decisions and now we can not roll back time and start over. Its kind of depressing especially surrounded by same age group who has nothing but successful as they made right choices at right time. I do cry too but then trudge on.

Oh my, we all do feel like that sometimes. Hang in there - these like all moments pass and we realize how wonderful it is to have loved ones and family around us. Do remember to set plans for yourself - and self alone - you deserve it. Even if it is one little thing that is all yours and your time to do it too! This should help.
