Wait till over 40. You'll think your 30s were blissful.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

30's are special though as you just begin to notice these things. I remember my big wake up call is I was working a job with a lot of shipping and recieving. I would always jump off the dock and one day I jumped off and just stopped because I could feel it in my back. It was like the official day I was no longer young.

I screwed up my knee getting out of a cargo van. I work on a farm and there are a million other ways I could hurt myself but no, I fucked up my knee getting out of a van.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I know someone who required knee surgery and a year of physical therapy after stepping down off a bale of hay and landing a little crooked. Getting old sucks.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've been nursing an injured shoulder and thumb for close to two months. Almost healed now but I don't even know what caused it. I just woke up one morning in pain. Getting old sucks!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

30's are where I realized it's not about losing, say, the physical strength to deadlift and shuffle something maxing your muscles out, it's when doing that carries serious risk of fucking you up.

Or yeah, like you said, jolts to your body giving suck. It helps if you give yourself a second to plan before doing though

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah if I had stretched and prepped I likely would have been fine but it was an end to just casually doing stuff like that with no consequence.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, my secret to avoiding that is to be obese when in my 20s, and then losing that before i hit 30 by doing weightlifting. I'm feeling MUCH better physically.

(apart from being able to handle lack of sleep)

Wait till over (n+1)x10. You'll think your (n x 10)s were blissful.

I will be 40 next year and I honestly feel better mentally and physically than when I was 20 something - not being a depressed, anxious sack of shit and being physically active helped a lot. Although, I need to be careful when exercising my joints.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I certainly have much better tools to handle my various hangups, but I have a lot more of them, too.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same here, having an extra decade of learning how to deal with stuff really helps me dealing with stuff!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

About to hit 32. Life's kinda in the shitter ATM, but I'm working on being that way by my 40s. Or mid 30s. Or something man, idk.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

No thanks, I'll be checking out well before that.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Meh. 50 is the new 40. Or whatever. It's honestly not that bad for many people, me included (except for the unending struggle against depression but that disease is age independent so it doesn't count! Yay!)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

don't say that - i turned 52, also a few weeks ago ( forever a virgin ) and things are quite different than i thought they would be - no walk in the park, but i wouldn't want to miss anything

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I said the same thing about 30, and yet

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Start exercising and taking care of your body in your 20-30s to make your 40+s suck less. At least that's what I'm trying to do.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you I have all these and I'm only 29

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Ahead of the curve, smart

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Only people over 30 will also understand the meme template!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

People in their 30s are far more likely to only know the Don Cheatle version and not the original.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I found the trick with the reflux is those apple cider vinegar gummies every night. I had to cut calcium heavy things due to a blood condition but these gummies work pretty well.Just don't swap them with a shot glass of apple cider vinegar. Ive learned you will get a terrible case of shits.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I used to get acid reflux all the time, like constantly. Then one week I had no sleep and I just couldn't deal anymore.

So I spend the next fortnight eating nothing but non-acidic foods and taking those calcium carbonate tabs things every third day (even if I had no reflux).

And somehow, my chronic reflux is just gone. Never get it anymore unless I drink 2l of orange juice in one sitting. Even then it's only once off and that's it. This is not medical advice, but somehow my years of reflux is gone like that.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I had it my whole life. Turns out I'm allergic to tomatoes. Grew up in an Italian family, mother had a tomato garden. Go figure.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Ah, kinda like how i "aged out of" my genetic childhood asthma right around the time when my parents stopped smoking indoors.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

What happens if I have all of this at 26?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It gets worse.

It could get better though ;-)

:-(

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Well it's already worse. I just broke my leg and ankle in 3 places and need surgery. :(

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Did you consider maybe not doing that? I hear that's a better approach than what you did.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

And you weighed those two options and was like, fuck it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. Hindsight is 20/20

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh shit! hope that goes well. I'm one of those never-broke-a-bone lucky guys. But, just found out that my left leg is significantly shorter than my right and the severe back pain is almost certainly related. Feels like I shoulda figured that out a while ago. Could kind of tell but never got around to properly investigated

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you! They had to kind of set my leg in place when they put on a splint so my legs wouldn't be uneven. That shit was the worst.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Hey I'm just missing the joint pain and I'm in my mid 20s.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Isn't "zero disposable income" a 20s thing?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Well, I'm 32 and my birthday a couple weeks ago went by with absolutely nothing happening because I couldn't afford to buy myself a gift or even go out for a movie or something.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Well even if it wasn't happy :( I am glad you were born and I doubt I am alone! Your posts brighten my day and I really, really appreciate it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's one big reason why I post. If I can make anyone elses day just a lil better then it's worth it. Granted I didn't make any of this shit but still.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

So poverty isn't a generational issue, but a universal one.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

It's creeping upward as corporations wring our society dry.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just start having kids. It's makes you forget about all those other things except bills.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Over 30 with those problems?

Boy do I have some bad news for you...
