I’m coming up for 44 and I feel like I have aged so much since turning 40, the last year I seem to look like a 60 year old some times and I am questioning what I am wearing because I think as people age they can’t wear certain clothes anymore.
I am trying to ignore it but my own mortality seems to be creeping up on me and its unsettling, Mental health wise its ok though, I think this is just normal growing older stress.
I’ll be 70 next January. Cognitively, mentally, and physically- it’s a mixed bag. Adjusting for age, I’m doing as well as ever cognitively. Mentally, I’d have to go back over 55 years for a time when I was doing better than I am now. Physically- multiple conditions etc. Not as healthy as I was pre COVID.(timespan, not COVID effect)
