I miss being young
I’m turning 20 this year. I feel like I have so much limited time of being “young” which I never thought about before this. Growing up is so hard and I don’t know if it’s turning into ocd or not

I am turning 19. You gotta think about all the opportunities you have now. Your life is just beginning!

I’m turning 29 and I feel like I’m still living life for the first time. You are young, 20s are long and you’ll be surprised how much happens. You’re young and have so much ahead of you! But I do relate, as I’m entering my 30s soon the idea of aging is scary, but we can do hard things!

Honestly man? Enjoy being 20. Don't think about the future and just have fun. Don't waste a minute of it. I'm 27 and there's so much I wish I could change. Tbh OCD wasted a lot of my youth and energy. Only now am I getting stuff together. In 5 years time you'll still be in your 20's. 8 years you'll still be in your 20's. A person is as young as they want to be. There's 20 year olds who look 40 because mentally they believe they are 40. Convince yourself of your youth and enjoy it because there will be a day where you're 40 wishing you would've enjoyed being 20. Trust me dude you have lots of time.

Growing up
I turn 18 in one month and on one hand I’m excited but on the other I’m nervous about the pressure that comes with this age, new responsibilities, the pressure to move out like everyone else my age…has anyone else felt this way? What ways have you felt less stressed?

anyone else
I am 30 something and at time I get into the moods of feeling down and nervous about aging. I know that I am not old (yet) and that there is nothing that can be done about aging, but I cannot help feeling like this at times. I would also worry at time about aging when I was in my 20s. I also understand that there are positives of getting older. Idk, I guess I am just ranting about how I am feeling.

OCD about age? Fear of getting old
Since I was a kid around 10/11 I’ve developed this extreme fear of aging, every birthday would send me in a spiral and my mind would be telling me “you’re getting older, no one will love you once you’re 30 or 40” “every single day you’re getting older” “you’ll only be young for so long” etc. It causes me extreme anxiety & due to my mental health I haven’t accomplished as much as other people my age. Does this count as OCD? How do I deal with this when it’s a FACT that I’m getting older every single year? I can’t avoid it.
