Well everyone gets older theres no way to prevent that. That's like denying life. Its okay to fear that but do the best you can each day and you will age gracefully especially if you take care of your diet, excercise, etc
That's a good point though, they are right about doing your best to take care of your body. If you take good care of it you won't age as harshly. It is a fair step to take to help with the fear, just don't let it consume you to the point of thinking your getting healthier by not eating and things like that. 😋 You can do this!
My biggest dream is to get old lol 😂 and have grandkids
Things like that are super helpful for me! When I was a kid and scared of it I would remember I can get older, have my own family, my own home that I run, and my own hobbies and money. That helped me a lot. It's now a matter of making that a reality with hard work 😄 (this fear is crippling so I'm so glad that others in here are helping yay!)
I think the post complicated thing at last is to be happy living the present moment. When I was a child I could have killed to have what I have now : a wage, the freedom to go wherever I want to, buying all the stuff I want to. When I was 16 I remember telling myself "I'll buy all of the mcdonald's sandwiches once I earn money!!" 😅 And now that I have everything I wanted to, a part of myself always stick with the thought that I would so much like to come back to when I was still a child, so much innocence in life, the dream of a futur with a beautiful girlfriend, a house and kids to play with and teach things at. I think that's the most complicated things in definitive : be happy with the present moment, and it's not as easy as it seems bc human being are always unsatisfied no matter what they own in life.
Your answer is a bit rude btw, when we don't understand something coming from someone who wants to help it's better to say "Sorry, can you tell me a little more about that" it's more polite 👍
Sorry. I just don't really understand what you're saying but I appreciate you trying to help.
You gradually get older as you love your life 😅
Often it's when you go from being scared to being pissed off in a point that you want to fight.
One word: what?
What didn't you get in my saying lol
Because what the guy above me said was clearer? 😅
🙆I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to your word "aging" I confounded with a French word that is "agir" which means do something in the urge of a particular moment. So I thought you were saying something like "How do I get over my fear of "agir"? Sorry for the mess 😅
Oh haha! Don't worry that's alright. And thanks
I struggle with it too, I think part of it is doing what you can to fulfil some of the need to "live while your young"/ enjoy what you know you should enjoy in that particular age, but don't comply with your compulsions of it too much, and then try maybe watching some stuff with older people in it, closer to the ages your going to be hitting next, and find something about those people that you appreciate that they have due to their age as something to look forward to. It's not perfect, but it has helped me a little to quelm some of the anxiety to be able to assure myself that everyday I am trying to do one thing to get what I need from my age and that there are always things to look forward to. It helps for me, maybe it'll help you. If you need a better explanation let me know! It's kinda hard to word it right!
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.
Good morning!!! Are any of you out there over 60? I am 64 years young! I am super active and not to sound conceited but when I tell people his old I am they are shocked! I take care of me! Do hot yoga, work out, eat right most of the time and have a happy yet OCD tarnished life. Started in my childhood and themes have come and gone. Did erp and have been quite better. Last few days it’s rearing it’s ugly little head… my ocd…. You are 64… how much time do you have left to live…. DEATH! It’s always been my main theme. Fear if it! Mine and my loved ones. Major childhood trauma on my 10th bday when my dad almost died of a massive heart attack. He did due 10 years later while all along I worried that he would be taken from us… long story short I am feeling the tentacles close in lately. Yes of course we will all die but. While I continue to breathe and enjoy this wonderful life, any words of wisdom from my fellow “baby boomers”! Happy Sunday💛please and thank you🥰
I'm literally just hanging out with my sister and having a good time and I realized "I'm not gonna be young like this forever" and that I'm not immune to death or aging. I'm living just to slowly watch my body die. I'm already going to be 15 this year. I've already passed so much time and I feel like it's going to be so quick and I'll be dead. What if I like living more? What if there's nothing after death? What if it's just black and everything is for nothing. It kinda makes me wish I wasn't born so i wouldn't have to deal with this. it's so stressful. Every moment that passes I'm just getting closer to something I can't control. It's so scary. I can't do this. I physically cannot accept one day I'm going to be gone absolutely forever. I'll have to leave everything. Two minutes ago I wasn't as close to death as I am now. I'm cant handle this.
