Does anyone feel old and useless with age?

Posted by sally12345 @sally12345, Sep 13, 2023

Hi, I'm almost 64.. I'm feeling old and useless. My strength isn't good anymore. Like it used to be mainly side effects of meds. My health is poor with cvsd. Osteoporosis, poor circulation, hearing , eyesight, you name it's going. I always took care of myself. Now I've gotten older and everything's wrong, my grandkids don't a want me around and they are little still. No friends to talk with or do things with. Why is it we spend our lifetime taking care of family. Loving friends to end up , old and tired. Useless.

I feel the same about not aging well with good health. I took care of myself also and was always there for my family and kids. But now they aren't around. It's like they don't want to be bothered or burdened with me and my health problems.

@sally12345 no judgment here, just wondering if your 2 sons live with you why aren't they helping out? Like I said no judgment. Just curious.

@amalfi1279 it’s sad. Some adults just feel entitled and that is the way it is. Sure , you can kick them out , but then what?
