How old is my neck??

[AROUNDagainCrazy]

I've noticed some changes, so please be honest!

I definitely think losing my close relative and that having most likely caused accelerated ageing has made me angry. I've been through enough without this consolation prize. Then this ageing is tying into mortality and my fear of death. Arggghhh, I'm not helping myself! I need a therapist, not a cosmetic surgeon 😂
Thank you all. Evidently, I'm 39, expecting to still look 25, after an extreme amount of stress.

But there isn't any accelerated ageing. It's a perfectly normal neck. It's just a thing you've fixated on.

Men age terribly in general! We must be living in parallel universes 🤣

Your neck looks fine, by the way.

@DappledThings thank you, I wish I could believe it, I will try. I have fixated on it though, that is definately the case.

Haha @YoureALizardHarry11 I think it is maybe as a pp upthread said. Women are invisible after a certain age, criticised and judged by society. There are very few female actors over a certain age that get roles, afew exceptions, but it's always given to somebody younger.

I realise I'm only further condoning this misogynistic behaviour by doing this to myself though. Men just seem to get away with it all. And we're the one who have babies as well!

A lot of men I see past about 30 onwards start to age quite badly. Receding hairlines, crows feet, bad under eye lines, overweight etc. Not everyone of course. But what annoys me more than anything is despite the way they look, they still feel they have a right to comment on women’s appearances and expect to be irresistible to women they take a fancy to 🤣

Sorry, this should be for you @AROUNDagainCrazy

I would say your neck is late 20s but I dont think it matters we are all beautiful in our way and should enjoy aging.

It was a lesson I had to learn, my DH talked to other women online (and engaged in solo sexual activity) whilst I was at Yoga class. He thought it was okay and took no responsibility for his actions. I found out by chance and it made me so self conscious, why was he speaking to other women in that nature online but he didnt do anything like with me? Was I not good enough? I got obsessed with every part of my body and analysed it all. Wasted years on diets, creams, lotions, botox and all sorts. Eventually, I realised I'm unique and beautiful, its his loss and my body only defines a part of who I am and if you dont like it then get to walking......

So dont worry about your body, its your soul that matters most. 😊

That's from muscles sagging in grief and stress. You can snap that back in no time with a bit of face yoga - even an afternoon of laughing with friends and smiling would help. Your neck is otherwise going very well.

Honesty your neck looks good. I would have said 30. Please don’t worry about it. My neck looks awful - mid 50s but there’s not much i do about it now.

Hi Choclate, thank you for your kind, and honest reply.

I am so very sorry that happened to you, I cannot imagine the utter betrayal that you must have felt. I have seen so many men cheat on their much more beautiful gf's, and wives (inside and out). I think it is a power trip for some men, I really do. You deserve and deserved so much better than that. I hope you're in a happier situation now.

I agree, our souls do matter so much more. Looks fade and we have to like the company of the person we are left with.

I haven't looked at your replies. I'd say around 30

Thank you so much for your words, and video. There is some hope to reverse it alittle at least. I took the bereavement really hard. I have a slight line that has appeared on one side of my mouth too, just one side, it is so bizarre. It is sort of a faint laughter line, but from crying!

I am working on the exercises, I think my feelings about it are definately intensified by grief. I want to improve it, to sort of rebel against what has happened, so that the illness that took my close relative hasn't won (if that makes any sense). It has taken enough.

Thank you, it is some sort of power trip youre not wrong there! He was doing dominatrix things online, I dodged a slippery slope there. He has some very strange after work activities now.
I am in a much better place, Im dating an old friend who I was close to when I was younger, we had fun then and having even more fun now. She works in health care actually and I mentioned the face yoga video you posted, she said a lot of her clients swear by it. 😀
