Feeling Old

All the time. The guy doing my PT is probably in his 30's a real cute, and just that reminds me of my age. But then my kids mocking me when I talk about the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's makes me feel old too.

Being a callow youth I am far too young to fret over such matters. Although a woman in her thirties did say to me he other day how wondeerful it must be for me to be drawing my pension. I wish! I'm pleased that the lunatic is back in the asylum.

I knew something was wrong as I had not seen you for a long time, I hope you are better and I hope that you will slow down and take care of yourself Please listen to them and I know that you will do it I know you will I am so sorry to hear this and hope that you will be ok and you take care Big warm Hugs

Gosh, a stroke. I'm so glad you are able to be getting back to normal. You're just a little younger than I am so it feels a bit close to home. I'm the only one who makes me feel old and that's every time I look in the mirror. Although about 5 years ago, a 20 year old called be a "fat old bag". That hurt me. I feel just the same as I always did till I catch a glimpse of the person in the mirror. She is a total stranger and looks nothing like how I feel.

today, my co-workerwho will be 30 this year and i were chatting (she cut herhand last week and has a huge bandage on it) i was mentioning when i was in highschool, i got severe burns from a grumpy gas stove and because of it, failed my grade 9 typing class - back in the day when we had (gasp) typewriters!

Each time I am tired and unmotivated of doing anything I think back, gee so not like me. It is at this time that I take a quick glimpse and say to self oh gosh I must be getting old. Sorry to hear about your stroke and do hope you are back to normalcy.

I'm so sorry you had a stroke!

I've made a habit of feeling young! At 77, I do yoga 6 times a week for 45 minutes. No one with such a habit could feel old! I love my job, and am healthy as a pet pig! I'd suggest yoga for your therapy as well. Just take it easy to begin, and stay with it. My Avatar is myself doing an advanced Yoga Asana.

I wish you a speedy recovery. I had to learn to walk again after having surgery on my legs when I was in the fourth grade. By the time they took the casts off my legs, I had lost all of the strength in my legs, and I had to go through some very intense physical therapy in order to become strong again. I literally had to learn to walk again just they way a baby has to learn to crawl then walk. I started out scooting along the floor on my hands just the way a baby does. It was a painful experience to say the least, but it was one of many events in my life that showed me how strong I am, and how much I can take. To answer your question, I feel old all the time. I work in a restaurant with a bunch of teenagers. One of them asked me how old I am a couple of weeks ago, and when I told him, he then informed me that I am the same age as his DAD. Talk about feeling old LOL Also, my niece was born when I was in the seventh grade, and she just had a baby on Monday. My nephew was born my senior year of high school (1995), and he works for his dad's business now. So yeah...I feel old all the time.

I started feeling old when I saw kids who were born the year I graduated high school were graduating high school themselves. It was even worse when I was working under a supervisor that was born a few months after me and I went to his daughter's wedding. I knew I was old then and it never ceases to amaze me that someone my age (at that time) could have kids old enough to be married. But I guess the fact that I never married or had kids could have something to do with that.

Oh, yes. You just did (make me feel old). I do not know John Cleese from Adam's off ox nor The Ministry of Funny Walks. I see that you're across the pond so maybe, that is because I'm not familiar with Brits. Or it could be because I am old. Sometimes I feel old when the younger people ask questions about something in history and I am able to answer correctly. Nothing can make you feel old as being able to remember Dwight Eisenhower's inaugural address.

Nannacroc, each time that I see my daughter I feel that I´m getting older. She is 12 years old, and she is 1.70 cms high. She is 2 cms, more than me. And if she argues me I feel old. Even I´m 38, but her arguing and sizes makes me feel old. However, it doesn´t matter if we are getting older, what it matters is HOW are we getting older. Hehe. Blessings!... Dainy

I was climbing up the stairs just yesterday and slipped on the rubber edge of a flight that's torn out and I got hit on my hips. When I was trying to get up I got halted a few times then it dawned on me, "Am I getting old?" Nice discussion.

Oh...!Althouge I have not to a good old age,but looking at people that younger than me,or students.I feel really old.Years from his body a little bit of flow away!

There are times, I felt old for some reasons. I was thinking if there is a generation gap, but I tried to cope for some new changes. I hope you will recover fast, take it easy.
