My problem with getting old...

 

It's a good game for mid-life crisis.

[QUOTE="dave123321"] 36,37 or something like thatAFBrat77

Yeah, 37.

Old. :?

Old is 70+ (people live to be 100 now)

37 isn't even middle-aged

But we are middle aged:cry::cry::P

I'm 25 so I'm not old or anything. But I'm really stressed out about wasting the rest of my life in this hellhole. I can't get rid of the feeling that I should have left a loooong time ago. In fact I should never have spent a day in Gaza but I was not in control of my life which adds to the frustration. I keep thinking about the things I've missed out on and I keep asking myself what I would have turned to be if I lived somewhere decent. Its really patronizing and frustrating, you have no idea how it feels.GazaAli

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"]Sorry dude, I'm only 23. I'm far from old. br0kenrabbit

When I was 23 I wanted to live forever. Now, I'm not so sure.

Agreed.  And I think that's an experience that an awful lot of us have or will have.  Living forever is a nice thought when you're healthy.  For me, the worst part of getting older is the gradual breaking down of the body, which seems to occur no matter how careful you are to protect and maintain your health.  In spite of a careful diet, staying active, and minimizing stress as much as I can, I'm STILL finding myself succumbing to health "issues" that can't be explained by the experts, let alone treated.  That has led to a lot of internet research, which has revealed that conditions you end up having to " just live with" are much more common than conditions that can be successfully treated.

I feel you on the tinnitus.  I got used to mine eventually... and then shortly thereafter got hit with another new issue which is far more irritating and just as unresponsive to diagnostics and treatment.

 

I knew most of the local bands back in the day and would help them set up and sound test and shit, and I was usually just off stage while they played so if any technical issues came up I could jump on it. Never used ear protection.

Thing is, the tinnitus didn't hit me until years later. Even then, it was tolerable. It wasn't until this past spring that it really kicked in to the point of being constantly annoying, and I have no idea why then. I haven't cranked my music up loud in years, and when I wear earbuds it's low enough that I can still hear everything going on around me.

Every once again it will abate for an hour or so, but then it comes back just as loud as ever. I'm trying to get to a specialist to see what's up, but that's taking longer than I thought it would.

Noise exposure is only one of the many things that can cause or exacerbate tinnitus.  It could very well have been some medication you took / are taking.  It could be your spine or jaw getting out of alignment, or some sort of muscle tension.  It could be a chemical imbalance in your brain, or toxic chemical exposure, which has become impossible to avoid in modern society.  Frankly, there are so many things that can cause tinnitus that I'm not surprised they can't usually identify the precise cause nor treat it.  But that's cold comfort to the person who has to live with it.

Lets get you on a 500mg 12 week cycle of tesosterone cypionate; there's little serious side effects post 25 years old, outside of acne, and gyno if you don't take control for your estrodiol.

You can't have kids, right? Get on dat TRT bro it's like you're on a whole different level.

Im 26 i hope that aint old!Mkavanaugh77

[QUOTE="Netret0120"]Anyone over 40 here? I'm 23 in College.fvjonj

I recently turned 47. Life doesn't seem much different from when I was in my 20s other than I can put on weight much easier and have to exercise more to keep it off. My kids keep me active. I am grateful though that I don't have any grey hair yet. Both of my older brothers went grey when they hit 30.

I'm 42 and i'm try to keep in shape by going to the gym and my kids are young so i dont feel my age they make me look younger than what i am.

You now feel old.

I tell you what, I actually get sore from laying in bed these days. Every morning I'm stiff and achy as hell, and it takes a few hours of moving around to work it out.

Sux when you can't even sleep it off.

I would rather get older than going six feet into a hole filled with dirt.Ravenous_Joker

The older you get, the closer you are to just that. :?

Haha.  Indeed.  For me, I have plenty of trouble sleeping at all, so sleeping it off isn't too likely.  I wouldn't have thought that I'd be suffering from these sorts of issues at 32, but here we are.

I actually went 3 nights to a sleep clinic last month because I couldn't get more than four hours a night, and sometimes I'd go two or three nights with no sleep at all. They've got me on Mirtazapine now and it works wonders. It doesn't make me any more tired it just puts my mind to rest, because I can't stop thinking about shit otherwise.

Where's my cane...and muh teef? :cry:

Not a big fan of how unwise some of my coworkers are. Also, I really miss all that time I had in college to just play video games and watch anime. 

I like it. I used to be a mindless rabid animal and now I'm almost human or at least what I believe to be human.

[QUOTE="dave123321"][QUOTE="Stranger_36"]How old are you, TC?br0kenrabbit
