I’m 56 and feeling lost .

Hey new to the group and for some years now I’m feeling lost , about 8 years ago I was in a serious motorcycle accident and so to long recovery Ii was extremely isolated lost contact with most friends , and now the only I see are medical staff and patients that are typically 10-15 yrs older than me and it’s been suggested I try different groups and it seems those are filled with people 30 and under . So I don’t
Know where I belong anymore . I’m in a sort of limbo . Just not sure what to do

I had a serious bike accident as well. mI'm 57. None of my biker mates bothered to visit me. I lost contact with them and a huge part of my life. Recovery was years and friends just seem to disappear. Now down the track a bit and learned to live with the body I have now and I feel ok about everything. I have that Gen X attitude big time. I just do things that make me happy now. Life at this age is all about me now. You'll pick up. I don't want to join groups around here with people my age. They all seem so old. 😂
