Is anyone else terrified of getting old? I'm 19 and I can't stress how scared I am of becoming older. I really could never picture myself being 30 years old with a wife and kids, or working some job that I hate. It keeps me up at night because I've unconsciously given myself a countdown on when I'm going to have to die.
I don't want to get physically old. It's terrifying. I really can't deal with it.
For me, physical decrepitude is less frightening than getting mentally old, as in slowly losing my mental faculties until I can't figure out what's 2+2 equal to or remember my own name.
yes i am, i'm 29 recovering from a car accident. every morning i have to go in the standing frame and do my arm exercises to make it not hurt. my father is old he has a bad back.
