Getting Super Old

[Wrath of Foamy]

Last year 2 friends died 50 and 42. The 50 old one doesn't hit that much, good friend but more work related. The 42 is a semi childhood friend and my brothers best friend. Both died of heart. My other friends brother died from heart at 46 too, I didn't know his brother. A kickboxing coach I didn't see in years also died very young in traffic. I only trained with him max 15x but he was a great coach. 2025 was weird. At least Ben Askren pulled trough and is alright. I went from thinking I'm indestructible to questioning anything health related way too much.

As someone who had had his heart checked regularly over the last six months because of weird things, this post scares me a bit.

I had a bloodclot a couple of years back, have had issues sleeping and have had some other issues here and there. Yeah, I've become quite vigilant.

Sorry about your friends.

You still can get very fit at 57. So you stay mobile and strong. 70 is old. 80 is very old. 57 is nothing. You're still strong. We all hate making us do it but when you do you feel good.

I been obsessing bout heart 2025. Should get a troughout check just to get it. Watch your diet and get excercise in weekly. I need to quit cigarettes. But I'm also very athletic. I still bench 260 and go to kickboxing class. Well I'm "only" 38. There still like 5 things I need to get done and stop procrastinating. We're all the same I guess. I still get excess mid section.

Thanks, I try, weight is way harder to control. Strong as ever but energy and drive are lacking.

Yeah, I turned 39 in November.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I do move around quite a bit at work and I do go to the gym, though not enough, but I'm also an overeater and I am partial to the full English. I've also developed some bad habits over the years regarding posture and I'm very stiff and worn down as a result.

I made a decision to cut right down on certain goods, go to the gym more often and stop bending over, instead opting to squat. I'm hoping forcing learned behaviours pays off.

I also was taken off work and driven to a walk-in clinic during my last late shift last week. I had an accelerated breathing pattern at 3am the night before, felt "emotional" during the day and felt dizzy with numb legs and mild chest pain when wrapping up a job at 6pm, so I called it in. Vitals looked good from the walk-in and the GP said that I have a lower than average resting heart rate, but I looked okay. I worry about my heart and I worry about sleep apnea and well, so I do need to lose weight, clean up and fly right.

Just change your thoughts.

Fix the issues. Perhaps it's diet. Night shifts are demanding. Is there a option to work only day. Bring food to work, don't go for fast food.

No fewer but cough. No excercise for me today. It's the cigaretes. Didn't smoke 2 days no caugh. Getting virus and smoking = caught. I'm all for abolishing cigaretes all together in society.

It‘s part of life, Bratan. We have to thank God when we are healthy and young. Don‘t feel sorry for your parents, they got that old and are still healthy, it‘s a gift not a lot of people get. In a way, being 80 and not GAF anymore is ultimate level wiseness.

80% of my favorites old friends are dead. I Would do anything to see them grow older with me and complain about any and everything under the sun. Use our age as an excuse to do whatever and act like we don’t know any better. Damn.

Getting older is a gift. You get to experience more of what life has to offer, even if it isn’t always something you might want.

Chasing stuff that isn't there......worrying about missing something.....

We're a neurotic ape trapped in an existential crisis unfortunately. The cycle of life is everywhere and we should understand it well, but we rally against it in violent and absurd fashion.

You should settle down and set aside a few hours each night to listen to the wise words of Allan Watts. His words seem to sooth my psyche when I start worrying about and feeling overwhelmed by existence.

The instinct to survive is crazy.

Got a 100-year-old grandma that has dementia, can't walk anymore and can barely talk that's told my mom that she just wants to die already. She's not in pain, she's just tired of not remembering, being immobile, not being able to take care of herself.

Growing up, I remember my dad saying aging sucks so bad he doesn't want to live past 60. Now he's 75 and has increased his target death age to 85. I'm sure in a couple of years he'll up it to 90. And boy does he follow all his health check ups and medicine.

Unless you got a deadly, incurable and painful disease, everyone has the desire to prolong their life.

There was a woman from work who at the time was fiery enough to yell loudly at someone over the phone. I haven't seen her in like more than 15 yrs and I think I saw her looking skinny and frail not long ago. She used to have fat ass and fat thighs. Didn't catch a look down there this recent time, but from the front, severely skinnier especially the face.
