Re: i've got the 49 year old ''blues''....
Good advice given by been here done that. I too was a late starter in my education, mainly because in my younger years I suffered form
Depression and was severely handicapped.
Thus "mental illness" or depression, especially when you are not aware of the illness, can be a stopper. If we want to start a new life - in other words change our personality - we FIRST have to tackle any possible biological handicap, and then change our self-image.
Thus there are two articles that describe the process:
Depression is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/depression_disorder.html
Values Clarification course at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/psychotherapy/values_clarification.html
The latter looks at the direction we want to take in our new life.
