I hear you...dont some days u just stop & think.."I want a new me...this me & past me sucks"...Im getting old faster than i realize...happened to me today while cleaning out my room..going through old recipts & other stuff...deciding what to throw away & what to keep....just started thinking "I should just throw it all away & start over" ... why did i bother collecting this..why did i save that..& wish i still made that much money every week like that check stub says I did 
.....is this all that my life consisted of?...hords of things of no real value to anyone else...maybe i should have collected money when i had it instead of putting it into collectables or other crap ....woops...sorry Im ranting & possibly revieling to much of myself here...
But yes...people around me are getting old & so am I....feels like I havent gotten anywhere lifewise..spose i have made lots of progress in the past year & a half considering where i was...but still feel like I have failed to make much of myself...it sucks I know.

The thought of my parents growing old fucking terrifies me; they're both in their early sixties now which isn't exactly ancient these days but the thought of watching either of them deteriorate has me already planning my way out.

Getting old and seeing my parents get old is terrifying to me as well. I want to think of myself as still a kid but people my age are getting married and having kids. At 27, I thought I would be further along than what I am. I want to rewind my life over and try again.
It causes me anxiety that I am not self-sustaining. Without parental support I would be f'ed.

Yeah I've been worrying about my parents getting old too. My father turned 60 this year, my mom's a few years younger. The thought of their health deteriorating and losing them terrifies me - I still feel like a little kid too.
Recently a friend of my parents died, and he wasn't much older than them so it was a real reminder that I have to treasure every moment I have left with them. I know they could still have a few good decades left but the pessimist in me always sees the worst case scenario.

Passing of time and getting old is something that bugs me a lot and i've posted on it before. Yeah it bugs me a lot that I am at an age I should be married or aleast have a partner. And I probably should have moved ahead in my job.
Although at times I think I am getting old physically, I still feel like the same scared little boy that cried before going to school.
But what saddens me the most is looking my parents age. I can't bear to think of them getting really ill or even worse loosing one of them. Few times I have shead a tear in front of a stranger (well a doctor) was talking about this.
I know my parents them selves are worried about me. Even though I don't depend on them financially, they know they are the only people I feel comfortable with. They know I am alone.
