Discussion Getting old is becoming my new fear

[WallTermite]

I'm 26, but all of a sudden some days ago, getting old has become my new fear.

Yes, if I get old, I'm closer to ctb, but I as I also start feeling like things aren't worth doing anymore since I have wasted so many years of my prime. I feel like I did prison time since I became 20.

This is a very stupid concerm because there are people in their 40's still looking gret and working out and leqrning new things, but I just can't stop feeling like trash.

Also, I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad about their age, it's just something that hit me suddenly. I wasn't like this a few weeks ago. Might be side effects of depression?

Probably, yes. I didn't really feel old until I hit 60 last month. You have a lot of life ahead of you.

I do tech support and most of my calls are elderly people. There's no way in hell that I will allow myself to grow old. The cognitive decline is so awful.

Lot's of men die in their 20's and aren't buried till old age.

I'm 60 and I dread the idea of becoming incapacitated by some means like having a heart attack or stroke, even dementia, getting a disease such as cancer, having no one to help me, needing to have my ass wiped and be spoon fed. No way, not for me. One of the reasons I'm getting out while I still can.
