I felt like crap in my 50's as if my life had ended because of the menopause and associated aches and pains but in my 60's I feel great.
I've put all that behind me. I'm pretty sure all that is menopause.
I'd like a firmer neck though and I', planning on a bit of nip and tuck when work isn't so busy.

I thought you were going to be old old OP! I am 67 and still don't think I am getting old! That could be due to large amounts of red wine keeping me well preserved though.🍷

Myself and dh had our 8 month old grand daughter today from 6.30am to 8.30pm cause mammy is sick. And as much as a great, easy child she is, we're both wrecked, 😂😂

Christ alive, you lot! You're only in your 50s!

Agree, but suddenly stuff hurts. I thought I was invincible, turns out I'm not and that's a headf* tbh

Your mind tells you you’re still 20, then your body reminds you that you’re not.

You can do lots to stay young. Muscles know no age. Its only when people mentally through in the towel, that their body falls apart.

Aging is shit but we ALL go through it.

CharlotteRumpling · 12/05/2024 21:47

I am OK physically. Mentally I am quite tired.

Do you have a form of spirituality you can cling to? I have gotten closer to my Catholic faith. We are just passing through this earth. Our bodies will turn to dust so don't get attached to anything material or the flesh which eventually disintegrates. Its frightening, I know. Life is scarily short.

Not sure that exactly helps tbh....🤨

Yes it's hard, I'm late 50's and in the last few months I feel like I'm disintegrating, just horrible.

Whisperingsummerishere · 12/05/2024 21:41

Early 50's with an up and coming 10 year old dc.. No aches and pains but silent high blood pressure and cholesterol! How did that happen??

Yes - it is getting tired more easily. Carrying heavy stuff from the car to the house. Bending down. Not being able to stand for hours when it is very hot.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/05/2024 21:35

No, it isn’t. I am noticing things now (hitting my 50s) - get tired easily, etc. it sucks

VeraForever · 12/05/2024 20:40

No , it isn't.
My legs are so tired and my lifelong love of gardening is waning. I just do what I can get away with now.
