Yes, absolutely. I’m 44 and starting to thrive. You can too.
For me, going to therapy was key. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy are both effective and relatively short (< 6 months). These will train new skills for you to regulating the strong emotions and helping you with anxiety etc.
Be patient and kind to yourself, we didn’t have a lot of these skills taught to our generation. 1980s was not a time known for kindness and acceptance, for others or ourselves.
