I signed and accepted the offer. Now I have to go tell my current employer - who is going to completely loose their shit.
New position is VP of Finance for a $29bil consumer products company. I'm stoked. Feel pretty good considering I am only 42.

I'll give you props for being able to pull this off, but my question is how is the conversation? Anyone that I associate with, especially someone I'm dating, has to be somewhat of a conversationalist. Most 20 year olds, that I encounter, make me want to punch myself in the face after about 2 minutes of listening to them.

Stay the course. You really have no other option to begin with, but keep your head straight. Tough to do sometimes but try not to let it bother you. Find something to do to keep your mind occupied that rewards your brain. You need to keep some form of
positive/healthy dopamine booster going to keep yourself out of the funk. Remember, the search for a positive experience is itself a negative experience and paradoxically, the realization of a negative experience is in turn a positive experience.
