I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. I totally understand how you feel. What about starting to wear a wig? I have worn wigs all them time for many years. I am close to your age. I know the photos of me look young, but I always have been that way. ( I actually got carded two days ago in a grocery store! ) Anyway, I would never "come out" either. I like myself in hair much better.
