「我無用㗎啦，而家唔需要我啦⋯⋯」、「我又老又煩，你哋都唔想理我！」⋯⋯ 你的父母會瀕瀕說出這種話嗎？身為子女明明已經常常抽空陪伴，也盡量給予足夠的家用，父母為何還是不開心、不滿足，甚至總是埋怨子女「掉低」自己？如果你也有這些煩惱，或者你要留意一下，父母會不會已經患上情緒病，例如抑鬱症？有情緒病，家人又不察覺，便很容易影響親子和夫妻關係。

患上情緒病的個案由剛退休50多歲的人，到80多歲的老人都有。今次講座其中一位嘉賓——社工Sannie說，見過兩位年約50多的專業人士剛退休，一位面對母親離世、女兒出嫁，一時適應不到「哪裡都不需要我了」的生活；另一位則積極用不同活動充塞自己的日程，卻仍感到空虛、寂寞。她們後來也出現焦慮症的症狀，例如不斷重覆一個行為、總是有不同的擔心。可是，大部分子女、枕邊人，都不明白，因而產生很多磨擦和怨氣，關係日漸緊張。

如果你覺得有壓力，不知怎樣理解和應對父母，甚至也想為自己退休做好心理準備，不防來跟幾位嘉賓對談，也聽聽他們的分享。看看可否將父母的說話「解碼」，了解他們是否也有可能受情緒病困擾，作為家人又可以如何應對，自己又應該如何及早準備退休情緒，一起優雅地老去。

Ageing is a process that we all have to face. Women entering retiring age not only need to deal with the change of body conditions (e.g menopause, downfall of body wellness) and environment but also the shift of roles . When graduating from the career and the role of family caregiver, emptiness will become a big issue to deal with. The perception of oneself not being needed may lead to crisis in self image and self esteem as well as undue stress.

During the talk, a clinical psychologist/ scholar, social worker and a retired lady will share how women can prepare for the change of social and family role during their new stage of life and what signals should they be aware of for emotion meltdown. Who's up for tips to embrace their silverhood?
