39

And soon to be 40 in a few more months. I step back and look at how long that is, and I just get overwhelmed by how little I have to show for it. No family, no friends, never really focused on a career so I'm stuck with a job I absolutely dread going to every morning just to have enough to keep going. How do you even begin to fix things and start over this late in the game? I feel like I've wasted my entire life chasing one bad life decision after another.

Its never too late..in my classes for phlebotomy there are 2 people who are 55.
You can always go to school for something and restart. Social "norms" are dumb. Its your life so do something different if you want to regardless if what people say. I hope things get better..
