Current Events > I turn 25 in a couple months :(

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm halfway between 24 and 25. I don't really care. Sometimes I get worried when I see other people my age worried about it and I'm like, "Should I be worrying more?" I find comfort in reminding myself that I have literally no control over it. Think about how useless this stress is. What if you just weren't stressed about it? Think about how nice that would be. When I summon these thoughts, I start to feel silly for stressing about it in the first place. And the worry melts away.

I'm not as concerned about my physical age, it's moreso that I feel like I'm in a worse place than where I should be. I should have steady income and at least experienced a relationship by now. And the fact that some of the problems I had when I was younger still effect me today (not all of them but some of them) is troubling and a little disappointing.

Im a couple weeks away from 30. Heres what I can tell you about the second half of your twenties: hangovers get exponentially worse with each passing year, youre gonna start getting heartburn/acid reflux all the time (remember in your late teens and early twenties how you were like why are there constantly all these commercials for heartburn medication? Thats why. Get ready) and you will start to feel the effects of sleep deprivation more severely after 28 or so, to the point where missing a few hours of sleep will basically ruin your entire day. If you havent had kids yet, youve now passed the point at which they would have had the smallest impact on you physically, so good luck in the future.

I'm a few years older than you and feel the same as I did in my late teens, although there was a period of years ending around age 26 where I felt pretty badly (chronic fatigue, hypertension and insomnia, among other complaints). My siblings, all of them older than me, have had a similar experience to you. What sets me apart from them, I think, and from the public at large, is that I have almost always had very little body fat, and that in recent years I've lifted weights (but with reduced numbers of sets and reduced frequency compared to the typical bodybuilder or strength athlete, with the so far successful aim of preventing injury). An above poster mentioned eating well, which I take to mean getting all the necessary nutrients (thinking mainly of micronutrients, but also protein and EPA+DHA), and that's important, but so is keeping off body fat, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and anti-inflammatory myokine production by exercising, and in so doing staving off muscle mass loss associated with sedentary lifestyles (sarcopenia, which kicks in slowly as early as in one's late 20s).

As far as contending with an acute bout of sleep loss, you may find that creatine monohydrate supplementation helps (PMID: 16416332). I take an average of 3 grams a day and don't experience any issues.

I'm 30 and feeling great. Good health, active life style, money, career. Can't be a student sleeping until 12pm and eating ramen all your life dude

Maybe being 35 and feeling like garbage is just unique to me?

I most certainly did not "woo" about any of my last 4 birthdays and I'm 23.

I'm in flat up denial about my age.

It's the reason I can never join tinder.

Damn, you're halfway between twenty and entering the decade that comes just before the last decade before you're fifty. After that you're just elderly. You may as well enter an assisted living community now.
