Im 35, and the thought of living (possibly) another 45 years gives me anxiety and makes me depressed, how can i cope better…
it almost seems unfair that i was thrown into a life i never asked for.
i also have a crippling autoimmune disease causing severe arthritis in my spine and hips. my rheumatologist told me 12 years ago (at 23) that I had joints of a 60-65 year-old, doing basic things like grocery shopping and house chores wears me down quickly.
i just don’t want to get old.
i’m doing my best to take it day by day. but the thought of living the rest of my life gives me anxiety.
