[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have zero issue with this. I got arthritis when I was 18. It was so severe that I couldn't walk for a year and had PT at home 3 x a week to re-learn to walk. I remember being about 22 or 23 and falling down while standing at work - my back and legs just momentarily stopped working so I fell, and everyone laughed. Now I'm much older and your issue is really just not anything I think about. [/quote] Similar story here. A lot of things we associate with age are various degrees of disability, which all our odds of having increase with age. As someone who had a period of disability when I was young, it definitely made me appreciate when my body was working well as a bonus, not a given. Not trying to dismiss your concerns, OP, but perhaps reframing your dillemia as appreciation for what you had in your youth for however long you had it would help you make peace with the present.[/quote]
