Terrified of Retirement: Will I Lose Myself After Leaving My Job? 😱

Lately, I can't stop thinking about what will happen when I finally retire. I planned to do it last July, but I got cold feet and pushed it to next July. Every night, I wake up in a panic, torn between excitement and dread. I imagine endless fun, relaxation, and all the healthy hobbies I've put off. But then, I remember how lucky I've been to have this job and all it's given me. Suddenly, I worry I'll feel useless, bored, and miserable without it. Why am I so scared of this next big step, even though I know it could bring so much growth and happiness? Has anyone else felt this way? I really need some advice from people who've been through it. 🥺 #RetirementAnxiety #CareerChange #WorkplaceGrowth #JobCareer
