Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s? 4 years ago
I turned my life around at age 52. I mostly fixed everything with Stoic philosophy (to give me a coherent framework to operate in), meditation (to calm my mind), and journaling. It took a lot of time and energy and introspection.
There's no magic bullet: unless you're severely depressed, medication causes more problems than it solves.
