Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I’ve lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn’t as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I’m fine btw. I’m just so exhausted and it’s depressing seeing this shit.

    Honestly it’s hard for me to exercise cause my downstairs neighbours are psycho, outside is polluted af and I can’t afford a gym membership. My life sucks honestly

      Squats. Push-ups. Pull-ups. Dumbells. Yoga. Sit-ups. Crunches.

      Sorry to hear your life sucks. Most of us feel that way. You can make small, incremental improvements if you’re motivated to change.

      Good luck.

      If your life sucks, that can be exhausting. I agree with orbituary - do yoga and calisthenics.

      Get a friend to do exercises with. Do calisthenics at a friend’s house. It’s very hard to work out by yourself, but very easy with a buddy.

      Exercise for it’s own sake sucks. Find something physically challenging and fun. Kayaking is a great example, and not the crazy fast rapids type. Hiking is great exercise as well. Dedicate a pack to it and keep modifying it untill you’re carry what you want and need. LOL, mine’s about 25lbs. with beer and a little shotgun. You get the idea, even if those things aren’t your jam.

      You might be surprised what you can find on maps! Zoom out and see what’s out there. Found a park by the Navy base that few locals know exists. Been exploring this area for years and there are still places close by I’ve never been.

      Yes. Having excuses can be a major part of the problem too.

      I suggest to make ‘having excuses’ one of your former habits now.
