I'm scared shitless that I will make it to 100.
Rather than losing my loved ones, I think I'd be more scared of losing my love for them. Either via a cold heart or dementia.
Dementia scares me too. I've seen it with two people now. It's like they're living in dreams all the time. Turn a corner or something changes and it's a whole different scenario and you don't know what's going on.
I get night terrors. Some dreams seriously feel like they last for days and it's next to impossible to wake up. Living like that 24/7 at the end of my life sounds horrifying.
This. No one realizes that your probably not gonna make it to 100 in perfect health. If your body doesn't go, it will be your mind. Either way, it does not sound appealing.
If nothing else, the arthritis has gotten so bad, you wanna off yourself anyways.
Hard pass.
I'm 37 and already broken.
My back is killing me, the sciatica makes sitting down hard. My ankle is fucked from too many injuries doing shit like tough mudder because when you're young you're invincible. Top that off with an immune disorder and asthma and it'll be a miracle if I make it to 50 with a good quality of life.
Dude. Sciatica is the worst. Every once in a while I injure myself and can barely stand for days.
The only thing that helped was this old, Hispanic "healer man", that massaged the nerve back into place. It's not like woo woo healing and its not an actual massage. This man just knew anatomy really well and could feel everything out by touch alone. It took 15 mins and I was pain-free, although I had to go back a few times until it set. Hiking helped the muscles get strong enough to keep it in place.
I've gone to several other people that say they do similar things, including ones near the boarder, but they've never been able to fix it. Western Doctors were completely useless, they couldn't even diagnose me properly. The next closest thing would probably be a sports massage therapist.
This man was apparently known far and wide, with people comming from other states to see him. Any one in my local hispanic community i mentioned it to, was familiar with him.
Sadly, he was old and stopped working his magic around the time covid started, due to him and his wife's, unrelated, ailing health. I've been searching for someone else ever since. I'm sure there are others like him, there are definitely imitations. I have to assume someone else has excelled at this practice, and this old man wasnt just a one off.
If you have any contacts in the hispanic community, that may know of someone like him, I'd say it's definitely worth a shot to at least ask around.
I don't wanna get to the point where it seems miserable just to, like, walk or something. I don't mind taking heart medication, walking with a cane, stuff like that, but I don't wanna live in near constant agony just trying to get through the day.
You should try drugs
Waaay ahead of you there, partner!
Which ones? I feel like I've tried them all
all?
That seems unwise.
My twenties were rough
Mine too but luckily I managed to leave some a mystery.
Ok that's fair. I've never done heroin.
Me neither! Always knew that was one I did not want anything to do with.
there's far more addictive opiates available these days anyway.
drugs, you say? hmm mmm....
