Current Events > I'm getting at that age where I notice something wrong with me at all times.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not even 35, and there's always something. An itch here, a small pain there, a weird looking spot over there. And these appear and dissapear every week, it seems. How do people survive aging?

i expect this to start happening in my 40s

And you still have back pain being your constant companion to look forward to

I'll be 35 in a few weeks, and I can already feel my knees giving me trouble.

Welcome to the downhill slide!

Google if muscle mass and brain start to decline after 30 and get scared by the answers

It gets worse

aging is a terrible and horrifying experience

we just need to figure out how to reverse aging and we'll be fine

the solution is simple, just don't age

You just learn to live with it. You go from not giving a fuck to giving all kinds of fucks but at the same time realize that things are going to happen regardless. I take my health more seriously now at 37 than I did at 27. I'm in the process of losing weight, which isn't easy when your not used to exercising. You also learn that the world is a harsh place that doesn't give a damn if your healthy or sick and can't be bothered to use logic when determining logical things.

I gained 50 lbs during Covid and I am struggling so hard to get back to my good habits. I got really depressed at that time

I gained 30 lbs during my first stint at college thinking I was eating healthy food. Turns out the college was using salt on everything, hence why it tasted so good. Even when I was eating soups and wraps I was gaining weight. Wasn't fun. I'm now just shy of 280. I was at 265, but I had issues with my movement so I put on a few lbs. Now waiting for my cousin to reopen his home gym so I can get back down.

Wait salt makes you fat!? That explains a lot

eating meat and booze makes u fat. not salt.

salt makes you slightly bloated, sometimes, but you process salt quickly

u NEED salt to live. gatorade, for example, has salt in it.

I'm joining a gym tomorrow to get back in shape. Fortunately I only gained 10 lbs during the pandemic and it could've been a lot worse considering all of da alcohol involved

Stomach fat is annoying. Went from intentionally eating anything I wanted as a teenager and still not being able to gain a pound for football, to this at 34

People joke about how it's all downhill after 30, but it really depends on how much you exercise and eat right. If you spent most of your life sitting down and eating crap, of course things will start to fall off after 30.

The thing is, you can control it, but the muscles and the brain will still gradually decline, you can just make decisions to make it less bad

I developed back pain and stuff in my mid-20s. Its always amusing to me to see people in their mid-30s like boy, this sucks doesnt it? and Im just like bruh this has been my life for like a decade now

Getting old sucks, but at least it makes dying get increasingly less scary and more welcoming.

Soon you will be at the point where you think every little sensation in your chest is a heart attack.

I like this take.

Exercise daily and try to consume good food (minimal amount of sugar, etc).

Drink water.. sweat. Repeat. Find and surround yourself with things you love but..

memento mori.

I'm 40 and I still don't get it when I see people say this kinda stuff. We'll all see ourselves falling apart eventually but either a giant amount of people are psychosomatic or they just need to do more physical stuff.

I'm not gonna say beer is helpful but I agree with this sentiment and also like beer.

Also I know you huke and get put and about a lot and to me thats key. Not necessarily hiking or exploring but just being outside or being physically active.

Nature is definitely helpful too though.

As an autist this is already my reality.

Every tiny little thing is oh so noticeable

Wait until your dick starts acting weird.

My first thought when I saw the topic title was oh no, youre 25! But at our age my advice is to make regular doctor visits

Biological aging and chronological aging are two different things and everybody has a different ratio.

Once you stop growing, you start dying

Yeah I started having neck and back issues in my 20s, pretty much downhill ever since (40 now). For no particular reason and after no extensive treatment, my mostly constant and nagging neck pain is significantly less frequent but my formerly rare back pain is much more common. I dunno man.

Ive actually started having memory problems over the last year or so and that concerns me more, but I dont want to spend a fortune and use up PTO getting a bunch of tests, so >_>

Im a single dude living on my own with shitty insurance. Im legit terrified of going to the doctor because not only can I not afford anything crazy, I cant afford to be out of work for extended periods of time.

S*** sucks.
