I've noticed that lately, emotional stress tires me out more than it used to. Your experience?

20. Turned 74 about 5 weeks ago, and I'm in the same camp.

In my case, it's life experience together with the fact that my depression and anxiety are under better control with medication than than they ever were in the past. I still have my ups and downs, but they're more like little bumps and dips in the road than the roller coaster ride to hell I was on at other times in my life.

Being free from the stress of having to go to a job every day helps, too. It's wonderful not having to worry about pleasing anyone but myself and my very undemanding husband.
