To Feel sooooo Fucking OLD??

[BarredfromhavingStella]

I am listening to club classics & remembering years gone by, I feel so sad that I am now 33, fast approaching 34 & will never again be that girl........ I think I may actually want to cry (fuck me this is bad & waaaaayyy to much gin, clearly....)

I'm 23 and sat on my own listening to Magic Radio singing in to my bottle of wine.

Awww babe, u sound like my kind of girl-u need to tune into Kiss though....better tunes....

Pah @ 34, you're a mere babby.

agent you have made me feel slightly better but not by much, don't really understand where this sudden feeling has come from... maybe a visit to Ibizia is required....

Just came across c4houseparty last night and stayed up until 3am. Some of the tracks reminded me of Ibiza in 1998...I felt really old and very nostalgic as I know that this will never happen for me again, I am 39

This is seriously making me want to weep, tell me I can do another year.....

It's not all a bad thing Asamum when you factor in the puking, injuries from falling over, hangovers and shock at remembering what you said/did the night before...I've heard.

I get like this all the time and I am 32. I actually think 30's are a horribe age because you're not "young 18-24" anymore and you're not even 25-30 which is the next sort of division. Therefore you become just "old". Its a horrible realisation that from now on you're just going to get more and more towards 40-50 which for me seems terribly grown up - I don't feel grown up yet! But then I susppose I must be - eeeeeek.

I know what you mean, I'm 32 as well!

Yes - turned 40 last month and I feel utterley depressed about the thought of what I will look like and be like in 10 years time.

I would love to be 22 again!

Sheeesh! Stop complaining you early thirties lot, 32/33 is a lovely age... You'll pine for that age in a few years! Wait till you get to late thirties - now that is old!

Well, I'm not quite old enough to be OPs mother, but it's not far off.

Nice to see my age group being trashed as a 'horrible realisation'.

hahaha.... I am 43 and spent Thursday night in the moshpit at a Green Day gig, followed by drinking copious amounts of alcohol and got home at 3am, up the next morning at 8 for work... and I dont intend settling into middle agedness for a long long time yet!

I'm 33 too, and all I can think of is when I was little and my mum was 33 and my sister going "wow that's really old, are you going to die soon?". Sister was very young still at that point but it makes it hard to reconcile 33 with not being old to me!

I know what you mean. My mum told me that my first boyfriend's dad (my parents stayed in touch as we were at school together) had died last week, and I was shocked as he was so "young" but my mum reminded me that I went out with this boy 20 years ago when I was 15, and although his dad wasn't very old (75) he wasn't really "young" either.

And I just thought "how have I been adult for almost 20 years?"

And obviously "how terrible that he has died" (I"m not totally self centred)

It did make me feel a bit weird though that our parents are getting to the older age bracket now.

Mind you, I can never quite believe that I am a wife and mother of 1, soon to be 2 - my 18th birthday seems only months ago.

Next year will be 20 years since I took my A-levels and started university.

How the actual fuck has that happened? TWENTY years?! I can only blame the kids for five of them.

DH and I want to do a leave-the-kids-at-home holiday to Ibiza in the next couple of years. But in rather more style than first time around. Time for a bit of belated hedonism before we hit the big 4-0.

I felt the exact same when I hit 30 this year
I keep waiting to feel like a "proper adult" but despite having been to uni twice, married, a responsible job, and a DS, I still feel 17 and like someone might ask me what the hell I am doing living someone old else's life!

Of course you can do it again!

I am off to Ibiza in September with my 70 year old mum and 1yo DS. I fully plan at least one big night out (not with them though!)

I'll be 39 in November. Age is just a number. Rave on!

I'm feeling it too! I guess 33 is not a good age for this.

I went to the hospital the other day and I swear the registrar wasn't a day over 15!

The thirties were my favourite age. Still young but much more confident.

I am 30 next year and while i dont feel old i do feel like im too old to do the thigns i want. If that makes sense.
I have spent my life so far caring for people who needed carinng for. First my mum then after she died and i went to uni my granparents who died in the final year of uni and the first year after then straight after uni i got married and had my kids. I now have 5. I love looking after them but as. Iget older i realise i have missed out on alot because of responsibilities from childhood upwards.
I have never has an opportunity to choose what i want in life, never even had any dreams let alone lived them plus silly stuff like i have never been drunk, never been on holiday etc.

It feels too late now! And obviously with the 5 young children its not a question of just going out and doing it now - childcare woukd be n issue so it would be a few years at least...

I'm 49, 50 and November and can honestly say I'm having the time of my life; no young children, we travel extensively (just got back from two weeks in Italy yesterday), and have more fun and joy in life than I did when I was in my 20s and 30s, and I was an utter party animal up to 31.

Sex is better (and more of it), money no problem, we spend lavishly, and I actually look better now than I did then when I was too thin, did too many drugs and drink and had years of sleepless nights, first partying then with babies/toddlers.

Life begins at 45 imo!
