“I Went From 21 To 31 In 6 Months”: 45 Things That Inevitably Make People Look Older

I'm sorry to hear that. I too have experienced grief and can confirm. I look my age.

Everyone is gone. And sometimes it still hurts so much. I used to look way younger than I was. No more. Not said as bragging, just an example of what can happen.

Yea, me too. Im the oldest child and all my siblings have already passed away.

I lost my daughter, my son-in-law, and my husband within a year and three months.

I've had grey hairs coming in since about that age too when my mom died.

My BP has dropped 20 points since I retired as well.

When I retired, it took a year to de-stress.

Yeah, I'm seeing that happen right now. My mother is 56 and this year she suddenly developed a very aggressive form of arthritis. She used to be a very independent person, the kind who fixes things around the house, does everything that requires strength, she used to drive quite a big and heavy bike (a Royal Enfield Thunderbird for the curious). But now she can't walk straight, can't wash her hair or get dressed by herself, can't even cut chicken, sometimes she cries at night when the pain is too much. That arthritis really did age her in the span of a few months.

But on the positive side, back pain does get better when the kids leave home.

My late mom was doing quite well until she hit her mid 80s. Depends on genetics and lifestyle, not all of these always happen.

I'm so sorry for your pain

I’m so sorry, please take care xx

I understand you completely, I lost my brother two years ago. It still hurts every day. Much strength, Antonia.

I'm very sorry.

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry. :(

🤗 sending hugs

That's horrible, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope he passed knowing how much you love him. Let yourself mourn <3

Take care of you... Losing a Brother smashes your Heart... I feel your pain.

((Hugs))

Ditto, my 25yo just passed away on Friday (9-29-2023) Parents aren't supposed to outlive their kids!

They're not a big as they look. She overlined her actual lip line by 30mm. (I don't really understand this tactic. It's so obvious.)

Now now. be nice. she clearly got into a fight with her hoover and lost.

Sucking on a vaccuum hose ages you too!

I think her actual lips are probably pretty normal. It appears she has applied liner outside her actual lip line, and used a darker liner on the lower lip to make it seem more "balloon-y" than it really is by giving the appearance of a larger shadow beneath it. Still creepy though.

I can't articulate WHY I hate lipstick outside the lip line, but every time I see it, I think it looks stupid and I hate it.

It looks like they’ve been stung by a bee.

all those women with breast cancer would take issue with you. as would car accident victims, domestic violence victims, babies with cleft pallets etc. So no, not any plastic surgery. Ignorant comment.

Agree completely. The pain is just constant and at times unbearable. There is never a comfortable position, standing, sitting, laying down, nothing. It just takes your entire life from you, your energy, your spirit.

Yep. 1999 for me. I'm so tired. Age-related issues have only made the chronic pain worse. (Oh, you're handling fibro? Have a couple autoimmune diseases! Oh, I see you're managing those fairly well. Let me just throw arthritis and bursitis into the mix for added flavor.)

I've had chronic pain for most of my life - I'm 68 - and it does get to you. You have to adapt, to work around what hurts the worst at any given time. You can be functional, at least as much as you want to be. Sometimes you just need to give in to it for a while. Your pain is something you have, not something you are. And yes, I'm not trying to preach, just give you a modicum of help. Sometimes you just have to know someone is thinking of you. I wouldn't wish my pain on anyone - with a few exceptions, not a public figure - but you have to hold on.

I hope you get this reply. This is the very first I ever heard of the chronic pain treatment that has worked so well for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_aFEeJKZWQ, and some of the comments are good, too. The idea is that we sometimes have emotions that we find so unacceptable we can't admit it to ourselves, then our unconscious may protect us from having to face them by distracting us with pain. The pain is real; the inflammation etc. are real and physical, but pain that lingers beyond about 6 weeks is usually there for those other reasons. The chronic pain relief program I used was from: https://www.painoutsidethebox.com/. There is a questionnaire to help you determine if it’s appropriate for you. I got significant relief within a day or so, and it improved from there. Day 19 I was functioning normally. I'd been heading towards permanent severe disability. I'd write more if they'd allow the space.
