It's 11pm and I can't sleep. I was wondering about
the ages of the people who use this board.If I had to guess, I'd say:
5% age 20 or younger
25% age 20-30
55% age 30-40
15% age 50 or olderSound about right?

> Sounds pretty accurate. I'm part of the majority, in the 30-40 yr range. I'm on East coast time, it's midnight and I'm wishing I were asleep.

Hey what about us 40-50 year olds, don't we get any credit for being depressed/anxious/just plain crazy?!!!!
I won't take it personally, but I think there's a few of us in this group.
I'm 43, but depression is about 25 years old.

If we don't have a catagory, does that mean our depression doesn't exist? COOL! I feel much better. :-) 44 yrs old going on 70 (or at least it feels that way some days)

I am 36 and have been married 19 1/2 years and my oldest kid (of nine) is graduating from high school next month. I don't think there is a"genuine" age catagory for me.

the majority of people are in their 30's & 40's.
My mistake.

It seems that my assumptions were close to the
mark. So far I'm the old man here. I'll wait for
additional responses before I tally the results.

I'm just 25.. even though right now I feel about 250! Everyone keeps telling me how young I am... but right now, I wanna be older... There just seems too much ahead of me, too mnay years to try coping with all these damned feelings...
Sorry.. went off track!

Harry, I think that by the time Mozart was my age, he had been dead for 6 years!!
Thanks to Tom Lehrman for that one. The old folks among us will understand.
Actually, I can't remember exactly what age Mozart died at; I was guessing 34, and I turn the big 40 this year.
