Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I’ve lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn’t as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I’m fine btw. I’m just so exhausted and it’s depressing seeing this shit.

    Idk it’s not like I’m working that much either I just feel like I’m dying. I did take a vacation and felt better for like a week after lol. But I was also tired during the vacation cause I had to walk all day everyday and my legs were in crippling pain due to my varicose veins. I feel like that vacation might’ve been what made them significantly worse ngl. Didn’t help that my abusive ex wouldn’t help me or let me sit

      Abusive ex didn’t let you fucking sit? That’s a lot to unravel and the likely source of your trouble. Like if you have anxiety or trouble relaxing physically or mentally you should talk to a therapist about it and do some research. I also recommend doing light and soft exercise like yoga and stretching to help with you blood flow and legs. Improving that seems tricky but very doable with some time, focus, and kindness.
