feel so much older than I am

[RcKitty]

I am not yet 40 but feel so much older! I feel elderly really. and suspecting I look much older than I actually am as well. getting in the shower, grooming myself, brushing my teeth have become so hard I get o tired just thinking about it... its just so hard even the simplest of things is like climbing mt everest

hello RcKitty, i feel you sometimes. having a body that feels almost unfamiliar and not of my own. after child birth, i was left with major stretch marks from the top of my belly to basically my private parts, also with an uneven saggy lower belly. and at just age 30, looking at myself in the mirror leaves me disgusted. comparing myself to magazines or friends and family and people my own age- its starting to make me go insane.

we need to stop comparing our selves to what society "thinks" we should look like =( its sad. it does sound that you are getting signs of depression and seeking help is the best for yourself and others around you. telling your story and how you feel on this website is a great way to help, it helps me on days that i need to be heard, in a way gives me strength.

i hope this helps, and your not alone.
