Posting in AIBU for more traffic I guess …
Recently turned 42, and all of a sudden I’ve started to really struggle with ageing and wondering whether I am alone in this or if it’s actually common?
I was generally a quite attractive, but plain/normal-looking woman, but always got told I looked younger than my age, until around 38ish. I take great care of my skin and have a great skincare routine and am lucky to have been blessed with good skin-genes tbh, but I now definitely have visible wrinkles (around eyes), under-eye bags & the worst of all, my hair is thinning something terrible 😞 I am getting more grey hairs too.
I’ve been in a 2-year relationship now with the man of my dreams, first ever relationship really that I’ve been truly happy in and have found myself a decent man, but my worries about my ageing are making me crazy with subsequent worries that he will no doubt look for a ‘younger model’ 😫
I’m wondering if there are any good books, podcasts, ‘influencers’ etc that help with women coming to terms with their ageing concerns that any of you lovely people could recommend?
