I will be 31 this upcoming May. I’m hoping by the time I turn 60 (if i’m still alive) there will be serious improvements in treatments for troubles due to old age.

I try not to worry about it, but at the same time I count my Blessings that I don’t have too many health problems as it is. I have a big family and help from the VA to fall back on as I age.

I turned 46 last week. It’s not so bad, though physically I cannot do a lot of things I used to be able to do, just have to accept that. My teeth are going bad, too.
One thing aging has done has made me sleep less. I realize I’m almost certainly more than halfway through my lifespan at this point, my time on Earth is increasingly limited, so I don’t want to waste the rest of my life by being unconscious for half of it. I sleep more like six or seven hours these day, whereas I used to love getting as much sleep as I could.

I will be in that situation
Getting old is not exclusive to me
Seeing people I care about passing on is probably the worst thing

I’ll be 69 in January. In my mind I feel like I haven’t aged much. That’s at odds with the list of of physical things that came to light after my falls in October 2021. I’m acutely aware of the increased risk of dementia, but so far I’m still a very intelligent person with moderately severe EF deficits.
The thing that gets me most as I age is the lack of help I should’ve had when much younger, but never got. The stark realisation I’ll never get near to fulfilling my potential. That wound has been prised open by the therapy I’m currently doing. It’s decades too late to make a real difference. It’s about lessening the psychological effects of past events, past inadequate help and support. It’s putting a 3 inch dressing on a 9 inch wound.

We have a sauna in the building but I haven’t used it in years. Perhaps I should!

The area I lived in for college was historically Scandinavian, primarily Finnish, and saunas were a very common thing there. Even my dorm had a sauna for us students to use, though I never did. This was in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Hell, there had been another school nearby called Suomi College, which then changed to Finlandia University, which has since closed.

I’m 61 and am having trouble walking outside of my house especially because of balance issues.
My brother mentioned something about getting me help when I get older but who knows.
He’s just a couple of years younger than me

I am 53 and did 120 press ups in a row this morning!
My hair is gone, my mind is on the blink but I manage well enough.
Keep up the hobbies and keep the mind active is scientifically proved to help mood and longetivity.

Saw a dude at the mall, had to be mid fifties. Gangstered up, gang rag and all with stunna shades. Made me feel fifteen again. What the hell is OG doing in his old age.

I live in the moment, because that’s the only thing I can, for good and especially bad. I rarely worry about the future, because I don’t think I’m going to get old. I’m 56 now. I think I will die before 60. I don’t want to be old with this damn illness. I hope I am going to change that view.
