Move down here. It happens all the time in tornado season. We have two, one in the spring and one in the fall.

Aging doesn't really bother me I'm 51 and haven't gone grey yet.
I have noticed that I've slowed down a bit though.

Probably seems a silly thing to obsess over daily but it's just always there. Time seems to be advancing way too quickly and I feel very stressed by it! I feel like I wasted my youth and especially the last couple of years were stolen by severe anxiety. I feel like it's getting to let to do the things I wanted to do with my life and I'm really worried I'll get less and less likeable and able to deal with people and have worse bipolar issues with time.
It's constantly freaking me out because I can't imagine a bright future, I only see myself declining as my skin loosens.


I understand that feeling. As I've gotten older, my anxiety and sensory problems have gotten a lot worse. Now, I'm at the age where I'm expected to go out into the world, leave home, go to college, and then get a job. Thinking about all of that stuff really leaves me feeling stressed out, because I don't know where to start, and I don't know how to manage my stress very well.

the older I get the more I just wanna be a hermit. I don't feel like much of anything other than sitting here like a bump on a log.

The main part that really creeps me out about aging, is that every thing around me seems to change, places, people and so on. Yet i seem to remind stuck out of place and in time. I still feel like that lonely akward kids at age 14-16. And yet birthday says 31 years old.

And not growing up and having people / family around me die, is a most sobering and hard reality to come to terms with.

Maybe i just need a purpose a goal in life.

Yep, getting old is no freaking picnic. What I've learned: whatever you hurt when you are young comes back to visit when you get old...and after awhile moves in permanently. Throughout my life I trashed both my ankle and knee and later blew out a disk in my back in an accident. And when I was young, they healed. Or so I thought. Now I'm 60 and they are all back everyday as a reminder of a time gone by.

When I was young I had an incredible vocabulary. Now, I search for the simplest words. My short-term memory has become almost non-existent. Insomnia has become a way of life and if I even glance at a cookie I gain 5 pounds.

But to all of you younger folks out there....not to worry, I'm sure none of this will happen to you. :lol:

Upside? I'm not dead yet. I have a lot more time for my special interests. I no longer try to 'fit in' but just be who I am. As long as I don't get some form of dementia, I should be good for a few more years.
