Turning 65 this year

I guess I’m a senior citizen now. My body feels old when I get up from the couch or a chair, my back is stiff. And last time I actually ran was a few years ago when I was crossing a street; it felt weird and awkward. From what I read, my life expectancy was 59 years old so I already beat the odds.

Are you saying it’ll be many years before you lose your hair?

You’re a year younger than my parents and I don’t consider them old

That’s started happening to me. I’m 55. I’m hoping it’s just because I put on some weight.

Like @jukebox once said, “getting old isn’t for sissies”.

Man, I feel like this all the time, even though I’m just 22. But mine is most likely due to heavy antipsychotic treatment and medication induced Parkinsonism.

I feel like our schizophrenic life expectancy is shorten due to a lot of early suicide and obesity related ailments. You can be healthy and have schizophrenia and live a long time.
