Die young mentallity

Carpe diem, don’t worry about the future. Do party and drugs.

Someone told me years ago that she didn’t want to get old no matter what. I didn’t understand it by then.

Did some of you have this mentallity which changed by diagnose/getting older?

Well yes I lived that way in my teens, staying up late and getting very little sleep before school, and I skipped school a lot because I found it so boring and had anxiety also. I much preferred being at home playing video games and stuff.

In my twenties I started getting propper sleep and started exercising and taking care of myself (maybe even too much, I kind of overdid it)

I know that feeling. In my twenties there was that self-improvement boom that catched me. Now I couldn´t care less about that, which is bad aswell

I feel ya. It’s the same with me. Now a days I’ve been lazy when it comes to exercise and taking care of myself, but I’ve recently started an effort to exercise more and I hope to continue doing it.

I´m on the same boat. TBH there is a lot of reasons to do so. Getting laid again is a big one.

Yeah i didnt think i would make it to 28 which i am now. I used a lot of drugs and partied a lot as a teen/young adult.
I skipped about half of my high school days. Hanging out with stupid people and getting smashed. People a lot older than me like 30’s and 40’s. It really backfired on me though eventually. Got trauma from those days now.
But lifes looking up these days. On the right track. :slight_smile:

I quit partying when I got sza. I went to na because I felt I had no acceptable choice. After a few years clean and sober I couldn’t go back to the partying scene, I’d left it behind.

That’s such a bad mentality people are falling for. When they get older they will regret it.

They’re planning not to get old.

But people who party and do drugs are more likely to have drawn out deaths they want to avoid. They might not die of old age but of chronic sickness which wears them out.
