I feel older than I am

[LoveTown]

I'm sitting around today having a pity party for myself. The last 3 years or so have been so freaking hard. Seems like when I get up life kicks me back down. I'm only 28 but in the last 3 years I've had to face the loss of love, friendship, my dad being diagnosed with cancer and now there's something wrong with my dog and the vet is dodging me. He sees "something suspicious" in my dog's shoulder and wants to send him to a specialist 6 hours from here. Funny how my dog is what's pushing me over the edge so to speak.

Anyway, in the last 3 years I have seen and been through so much I feel like Ive aged 20 years. I feel old and worn down. Hell Ive worried so much I'm actually getting gray hair at 28! Life can be so freaking tough. It's like a great big carnival ride that scares the hell out of you and no matter what you have to stay on for the ride and you can't get off.

Anyway, to anybody reading this, welcome to my pity party.

I know how you feel. 2004 has been an unbelievably tough year for me. I've lost a friend in a car accident, had shingles, my mother had a stroke, a friend got malignant melanoma, and generally have been stressed out all year. I can't wait until New Year's Day, I hope I can break out of this series of bad luck.

Thanks Sicy, I sure hope so

I hope things turn around for you verte76. I know you've had a hard time through reading your posts in FYM. I guess we all can lean on our interference friends when the going gets tough

I feel older than I am...but in a different way than you do. While my friends are out getting wasted and such, I pour over articles and make contacts with people for a future career in politics. Even my friends acknowledge that I am so much more ready to face the real world than they are.

Over the past year or so I've seen my Mum get sick twice, my sister get sick, and now my Dad is facing possible heart surgery. I also feel like I'm struggling at uni and I'm doing languages, something I've always been passionate about. I haven't felt well myself for the past two weeks. I have something wrong with my skin and I was paranoid about myface because for 3 or 4 days I had what looked like a rash on it. Some medicine helped though and the doctor said stress was making it worse. My hair is also falling out in huge clumps and he said that was stress related to. Thank goodness I have thick hair.

I hope things are okay for you

Thanks LoveTown, yeah things have been tough but I keep remembering that pain is always transient and things will get better. This has been going on all of my life, some years are simply hellish, and others are better.

I'm not having a great time right now, either, but hey, things can only get better from here, right?

I have been having a difficult time also. With both of my parents gone i feel like an orphan. I have two older bothers, but they live in other states. for everyone.
