MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP: Ageism is related to mental health.... [View all]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AgeismWe see posts here on DU (not in this group) that are borderline or frankly ageist. I turn 60 next year. This is deeply personal for me. I'm going to do WTF I want to as a "senior". I'm sure I will be told on many occasions I'm too freaking old to do XYZ or whatever.
F*** ageism. Yes, your body may be "elderly" but your mind does not have to be. Yes, some things you can no longer do once you hit 60, but the rest you CAN do.
Again, F*** ageism.
