I am having another down day! In fact my worry has been off the scale this week. On the plus side, an apartment has come up for sale in the retirement village I wish to move to. So I have been day dreaming about buying it. Problem is I am 37 and the minimum age is 55!

Sorry to hear that. Do you think you might find more comfort and relevant comment on a board designed for people who are having a rough time with their mental health? Everyone is entitled to support, but I'm not sure that a forum designed for technical comments on pensions and other financial instruments related to retirement is going to be the most helpful for you.

Yes probably. I initially started this thread asking about things like how to find a power of attorney when you have no family, but I appreciate I am now trying to use it for other types of support.

As Marcon says, you could look for a nore "supportive" board (or even forum).

Depending on what you enjoy, on here you could try:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/crafting

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions

Or any of the boards listed in the "All boards" link on the RHS here.

Try and keep positive - after all the longer the time is between down days, the more positive days you will be having!
