Fear of being old...?

Question

I sometimes wanna kill myself because I'm scared of getting old. It just looks sooo boring and pointless. I know that sounds like a childish thing to say but I look at the adults I know and I think, "What's the point in hanging around if I'm just going to end up like that?" Does anyone else feel like that? And what can I do to stop worrying about it?

Answer 1

Old age is a rotten ***** but no escaping from it.It's better to come to terms with it than continue to remain scared of it or hate it.Try to keep yourself as young as possible with healthy life style,positive thoughts and company of young people.The worst part of old age the forced company of other OLDIES,who make you real sick by harping on their real or imagined ailments and problems,all the time>Avoid them if possible or put an adhesive Tape on their mouths.Spend as much time by playing with children,as they have no hang ups about old age and enjoy it.(Keep a record of this,as it shall come handy when you grow old or pass it on to someone)

Answer 2

If you are involved, active and living life, you will do the same when you are older. You might modify some of the physical activity as you become unable to do some things. It is a very gradual process. Life being older is not so bad. Some people deal with health issues, but if you have a good relationship with people who are important to you, you get through these things. Love can get you through a lot.
