To find life more tiring now

[Notsurewheretoturn]

10 years ago I could work full time, go away for the weekend and still be alive and awake on Monday. Now it takes me a week to get over anything! Am I old ?!?

How old are you? I got more tired when menopausal which I guess is normal.

I could have written this post. I find I spend much of the weekend resting these days and if I don't I am much less productive the next week at work (which is a problem because I am self employed).

I am 59. I went out for a meal with friends from work on Friday night. Was driving so no drinking. Took me all weekend to recover - actually was still knackered yesterday, but a bit better this morning.

I'm 62 - so ancient by MN standards - and still work full time and go away at weekends and bounce (ish) straight back into work.

Hold old are you OP?

Your age is relevant...

Late 30s

Im the same age as you and yes where old and yes i also can barely function anymore. Work kids sleep. The thought of going out late or going out before work the next day would fill me with dread now. I can barely even handle alcohol or late nights anymore.

Surely to god we're not that old ?!?

Absolutely. I have zero interest in dinner reservations which start later than 7pm. Will not go to cinema of an evening unless it’s for a nap. One activity per weekend day (and making a particularly big breakfast is sometimes counted as that ‘activity’). I am TIRED.

Unfortunately we are, where closer to 50 then we are 20 now

I'm refusing to say I'm old!!!
