I think mine was an unexpected cardiac issue... random bout of AFib... doctor ran every test in the book and said, "Look, you're 40, you work too hard, and you treat your body like you have the metabolism of a 22 year old, you need to start taking care of yourself."
You mean, I'm not invincible anymore? |

Seeing photos from my high school's 25 year reunion (I didn't attend) and thinking, "Everyone looks so old!"
Followed by, "Oh, noooo...." |

 I've never had the luxury of thinking I was invincible.

I'm a 42 year old college professor.
I've always felt like I remember being in my undergrads' shoes and can relate to them somewhat. A few years ago they started frequently saying things like "Oh you're just like my mom!" or "My mom says the same thing!" which is normal but a sobering shift. |

| OP that is a peri-menopause and menopause symptom. Try HRT. |

| I only wear contacts maybe twice a year, but when I put them in and see my face up close without my glasses to magnify my eyeballs a bit, I look so much older than I realized. |

I'm a man. Hopefully it's not peri-menopause. |

When I joined an indoor pool in MoCo and they said I get the “Seniors” rate because I was 55. OMG!

I got arthritis when I was 18, so I've never felt that way. BTW, it's going to rain tomorrow. |

Did you take it or try to have some youthful response? |

When we realized the family members of our DC1’s fellow HS graduates last month were introduced…as the grandparents…and they looked our age (or younger!).
But I’m good with it. Got a late-in-life start to a family but rolled the dice twice and had two, healthy and happy children. |
