    my dad is doing terribly since retiring. he's always been an alcoholic but without work he has no reason to try to keep it in check. i think he's majorly depressed but that might be my projecting - he does nothing all day except watch stupid youtube videos and play some terrible mobile game. the mobile game i've come to partially understand because he's in some clan and using discord so its probably the only thing going on for him that gives him some sense of social connection. the youtube stuff seems to be mostly politics - he's a democrat so it's not the 'normal' old person brain poison but i assume it's either depressing trump doomsaying or vitriolic anger, neither of which seem good. but yeah with nothing he wants to do all day he just drinks and gets falling down drunk by noon, and speaking of he's fallen down a couple of times at this point.

    don't really know what to do to help him. he tried therapy and naltrexone in the past which i think just gives him a belief that nothing would work in present

    I've decided my 40-50 years (soon to be 41) are my whimsy years.

    I've learned some sleight of hand magic and a couple of card tricks, and I'm making cigar box guitars.

    Aging has been great for me.

    Same. It feels genuinely like some sort of psychic betrayal to be having these dreams still into my 30s. I haven't been in school almost longer than I haven't been in school! This shit needs to stop!

    I think I was still a teenager when I joined this place

    The thing is I was pretty fucking fat back then so I'm probably healthier now then I was then

    I mean i'm still fat but yknow not quite so much. Also I have a partner who I love very much so I guess I'm older but way happier

    I'm definitely feeling my age, especially after my heart issue two summers ago. Fun fact, today is my wedding anniversary and we've hit the mark/ages where we've now been married more than we haven't. That seems crazy to me.

    With that said, I'm still remarkably bad with money and subject to buying too many video games, toys and music. So I guess I'm as ageless as my student loans?

    Anyways the painting is cool and all but it only helps with the one side of the equation; I've still got loved ones who get old and die.

    Most people in my family are weirdly morbid, like, constantly casually mentioning how they or someone else is just on death's door. I'm getting married next year and my grandmother (who is old, but in good health) is so worried that she's not going to live long enough to attend my wedding that she is coming out to visit this summer just in case. I think for the last three years every time I've visited my mom she talks about how it's probably going to be the last time I get to see her dog. On multiple occasions I've watched my aunt and uncle get into a weird polite-in-public-fight because she just casually talks about how they're going to die sooner or later.

    It's strange! And like, I've lost people in my family, but not an abnormal amount in either direction, none of this feels particularly warranted. It has almost assuredly shaped my own attitudes towards death, although there's a lot of other contributing factors in the mix there too. I'm also someone who has struggled with depression and hung out with queer punks for a lot of my life, both of which contribute to not ever really thinking I'd make it this far.

    Anyways, this isn't supposed to be about death, not really, but rather aging. And aging, in turn, amongst all of that weird death talk and complicated feelings, it does kind of feel nice in a way. Obviously there's a lot of bad stuff in it, and I expect there to be plenty more, but it feels like a natural enough thing that happens, and the thing about getting old and dying is that you get access to so much life along the way.

    Turned 40 this year. In the coming year there will be a day when I will have been divorced for as long as I was married and a day when I will become older than my older sister will ever be, and both of those are a hell of a thing.

    But on a day-to-day basis and in the general trajectory of my life, I'm pretty content. My parents are aging but active and fun to be around, I have a stable job that I love and a strong network of friends. Both sides of my family tend to live long and healthy lives despite our frankly terrible lifestyle choices, or else are struck down by exotic cancers with no readily apparent environmental cause.

    Plus these days if I see some Legos I want I can just fuckin buy those shits, I defy anyone in the world to stop me.

    to be real, the big things that are making me feel old are 1) bending down to pick something up takes longer and involves more noises than it used to, 2) for the last couple years I've been getting heartburn waaaay more than I ever did before, and 3) (the big one) I haven't been in a long-term relationship in almost 10 years and at my age that is definitely wearing on me

    I think number 2 is probably the worst day-to-day though

    I do sleep relatively ok, like I said, but I do so many substances to get there.

    Gabapentin
    Tylenol PM
    Melatonin
    Anti nausea pill(s)
    Maybe 4 ibuprofen since getting frozen shoulder
    Sometimes medicinal patches

    This should probably also go in the aging thread, because that list doesn't get shorter as I get older.

    I don't mind the aging. I'm actually quite enjoying reaching the middle of my life, even with the whitening of my beard and the creaks in my joints.

    It's the existential dread about non-consciousness and leaving the family behind that gets to me.

    One thing I've been noticing with getting older is how thin skinned I'm becoming. Not emotionally, literally. Gentle scrapes now seem to peel off chunks of skin.

    I've got a noticable hand scar from trying to retrieve a sock from behind the dresser, what the hell.
