A sign I am officially getting old

[NoPoint2Life]

Yesterday I was in a supermarket and had to kneel down get something on the bottom shelf towards the back of it. When I tried to get up, I had a lot of trouble and I fell over lol.
I am 44. Way older than I ever wanted to be, and I am one of those people where the prospect of aging even more scares the shit out of me.
While I was able to laugh a bit afterwards, I just find it as a sign that I am physically getting older and it's stuff like that that makes me terrified that something horrible could happen physically at any time. Some days I think of that every time I walk down the stairs that I could potentially trip and injure myself.
Anyone got any similar experiences where it makes you think yup, I am Actually getting old?

When a Nurse checks my BP & sugar levels, then says, "You're not too bad … for a guy of your age!"

How stiff my body feels, I remember being so flexible when I was a child and even in my teenage years now I feel so stiff in my body and it can sometimes be hard even to get my socks on. So I am trying to muster up some energy at some point to see if Yoga could help losing my body up and feel younger and more agile like when I was younger. Sometimes it can feel like being a robot in the sense that I can only move certain ways not that I look physically handicapped to people I just feel limited in my movement as I have grown older like if I have to sit down on the ground how hard it can be to get down and up and how much strain it puts on my body where as a child you have like 100% agility so you don´t even think about it you just do it and don´t feel any discomfort in the movement.

Ouch at the last line, it sucks we have to age so much physically when mentally we often feel as if we are in our 20´s but just stuck in an old body.

I also got my BP taken a week ago but it was 46 which was pretty neat.

I'm 55 and while I do get arthritis and must do alot of stretching, my flexibility is much better than it has been since I can remember. I was never able to squat until a few years ao and I dont have a fear of falling over, as long as I land on my tough ass that gets a lot of heavy weight lifting. But it feels like a constant battle and hard work, that dosnt show much results compare to being younger and only becomes harder and more challenging over time. That gets me down.

I am 42. Morbidly obese and my health is starting to tank. Sure I could try to get better or do something. However I stopped caring. For what purpose? to live on this toilet earth longer? No thanks. I lived long enough and this modern world is not a place I want to be. So when my day comes, I hope it's swift.
