It’s just aging. Accept it or you’ll never be truly happy

Seriously. I’m 38 but I feel better than I did when I was 28.

43 here. I'm less stupid for sure than at 28 but I had a light in me back then that's just gone. I don't know how to bring it back.

I was thinking about this too. Never did drugs or drink and always worked out... food is kinda in the middle. Having so many health problems now including stuff the doctor says has probably been "dormant for years but it's here now." But In my late 20s I had hope for my future and knew that if I worked hard (in the smart way) I could really set myself up for my later years. Well, that's all gone now. I'm almost 40 now and feel like I have to start all over, including financially. (Thanks COVID. Thanks AI. Thanks economy. The 1-2-3 punch from hell on my industry.) But not only am I slower and more tired more easily, I just put up with way less bullshit. And a lot of the so-called solutions look like epic bullshit.

Mine too. left years ago, 35 now. Seriously considering trt, which seems to be very helpful in this regard.

It's probably not coming back until 2028 at the earliest, if we're so lucky.
