37 man.

We can all related to a lot of this thread,Yea I've found that.
I'm 56 now and have general anxiety and panic attacks never suffered before the last few years
Afternoon all.
Does anyone on here get stressed by age or is it just a number to folk? I was 46 a couple of days ago & it dawned on me I'm closer to 50 than 40. Just wondered how people cope with the age thing.
Cracking postI think you should rejoice in the fact that you are now at an age when the naïveté and awkwardness of youth has faded, when the tribulations of emerging adult maturity have been surmounted and you are in the years when physical health (assuming that’s relatively decent) is present, strength has not yet waned and mental acuity is combined with increasing wisdom borne of experience.
I would strongly advise that you make the most of these years. Don’t create opportunity to regret things you didn’t do and didn’t say - at the same time, remember that some things are best left undone and unsaid. And you are old enough to know what they are.
I know of what I speak. I’m approaching 68. From the usual direction, so I’ve passed by where you are now. It’d be nice to go back there. But I can’t.
I follow the Clint Eastwood outlook. “I look in the mirror every morning and don’t let the old man in”
Can completely understand how that feels. You are doing amazing.. just keep going and do the things that you can control rather than worry about the things you can't, i'm sure you'll be around for decades yetI am 50 and getting old and especially dying terrifies me. I have a 22 year old daughter who is severely disabled and an almost 14 year old son with autism. The thoughts of not being able to care for them, especially my daughter who needs me to do every tiny little thing for her gives me panic attacks. They have no one but me to look after them. Their Dad hasn't been in touch since before the pandemic, their older sister no longer lives at home and works full time, my Dad is a carer for my Mam who can no longer walk. Getting too old to care for her and having to put her into a care home makes me feel completely ill.
I have done what I can to (hopefully) prolong my life - lost a lot of weight, walk every day Megs at college, eat healthily, have never smoked and haven't touched alcohol in 3 years. I'm lot healthier than I have been for ages but nothing can stop me getting older. The thing that gives me the most huge anxiety is thinking about after I die and Megan shouting for me and I won't be there, she doesn't understand what death is and she will think I have abandoned her , it's absolutely horrendous as nothing can stop the inevitable. I hate how fast time goes.
Nope, be pleased you make it as far as you can.Afternoon all.

Proper kissed a lass for the first time in 1981. Anita Ball.
I'm 60 year old with a very young wife so obviously getting plenty of exercise in. Also, i run abit though distance and pace have diminished as the years have passed.
Senses all ok and memory starting to go a little.
Starting to spend more time extracting hairs from ears and nose.
