Look old, feel old, help!

[BingoWingoForties]

I am honestly grateful that I've got to the age of 45, I am, I know people who didn't. BUT it's still quite young right?! So why do I feel and really look so old?! I'm perimenopausal with no help yet (waiting to see GP as I have hormonal issues before that) so obviously that is affecting my mood but I feel like I woke up and my hair is thin, my eyelids are droopy, my posture is crap, I have massive eye bags, I have weird discoloured patches coming out in the sun, menopausal acne and I could probably pass for 10 years older at least 😭Ew.
Please be nice and let me know your best tips for feeling glowy and confident. There was a lovely thread on here a while ago for plus size style and it was a joy fest, I need to find it!
I'm loving the gym at the moment and am getting a handle on nutrition but I swear I shouldn't feel this old! And sorry I can't post a picture.

You must be quoting the wrong person, I’m not slamming anyone? I was replying to the person who said it didn’t make a difference when it does. I don’t care if anyone takes it or not

I like this, especially the male version. I'm going to start quoting it to my DH when he starts moaning about the state of the world!

OP believe me, HRT is not the be all and end all when it comes to ageing. You might think it is when you read some of the posts from those who think they’ve found the elixir of youth. It’s how you care for yourself that’s important. The main thing is good diet, fluids, spf , good moisturiser, not smoking and keeping your weight at a healthy level.
