My perception of my age changes a lot. Sometimes, I have tons of energy, sometimes almost none. I do have fibro and immune system deficiencies, and have have a a serious ED most of my life, so when my weight goes down, I get very tired, as I do if depressed.

I have bp, too, so that makes for energy/mood swings.

So I guess I range from feeling twenty to feeling 100. I'm grateful for the times I feel well.

Hope you feel better seaturttle or I may have it wrong...

My age  ummm cough!! cough!! ummm 100 yeah thats it,no Im not way over 35 but thats as far as i get actually I will be 50 when I get my head out of the sand I will post the picture first goot to losee the 10 I put on...:(

It depends on how much sleep I get!  But usually, I def. feel my age... in the middle!!! 

I'm 35 and glad to be so.  Beats being dead.  I've been "old" all my life.  As a child, I loved bein with adults instead of playing with other children.  I've always been a homebody and pretty much a loner.  I found my soulmatein my DH and we're homebodies together and our three-year-old DD doesn't want to leave home either!  Physically, I'm more tired, and heavier, and the two probably have something to do with each other.  After giving birth, things will never be the same no matter what I do. At my age, my mother had an 11 year old, an 8 year old, and a 5 year old. I can't even imagine that!!!

  I would love to live to be 101, but if family history is a factor, I'll have dementia by 75 if I don't die of a stroke or heartattack before then.  If I'm still alive, I'll be a crippled senior citizen (arthritis in family too) who can't remember anything. 

What a way to live.....I'm trying to stay active to keep from being that way.  A three year old DD helps with activity!

"I'm Grandpa's sister."  I was trying to explain to my brothers 5 yr old grandchild how we were related.  Being "grandpa's" sister felt old!

 I'm 39, and "feeling old" really is only the days that I'm in a lot of pain.  Visually my age is a bit hard to pin down (crowsfeet, but great skin )  I also spend a lot of time at festivals working with either much younger or much older people. 

My 20's were really a haze of anxiety and Bad Things;  my 30's were much better.  Even given that I'm now an MS patient, I wouldn't go back.   I think most of the time I think like I'm about 30 or so.  But it's all good!

Same here since I also have the fibromyalgia. 100 on bad days 20 on good days. At 34 I sometimes joke about me commenting on my hips hurt, that's when I feel old.

 I am 62, and don't feel like that. Sometimes I feel like 16, 25, maybe 35 tops.

This sometimes clashes with the creeping difficulties of ageing, though. I  try my best to prentend they're not there - less stamina, a tiny bit of arthritis, fibromyalgia. I can bear witht these things much better than my psychiatric illnesses, thouigh. As I have gotten older, my weight has gone slowly but steadily down - right now, with my gardening, it has gotten below the safe point. And agoraphobia has come back hard, too. Maintaining myself is constant work.

I am pretty active, perhaps too much so, and I don't have the illnesses of age many of my friends (and people younger than) have. And wth the lifelong handicaps which have so severely limited my participation in anything, I am blessed now with being in the best shape I have ever been in. But I do have to rest, never did before. When I don't and keep on pushing, I end up getting sick .I am a bit jaded, too, but much wiser, with a perspective now that accepts a great deal I would have fought against before. I am not easily shocked at the way things are. Seen enough by now not to be suprised at almost anything that happens.  I've learned to pick my battles more carefully, and I certainly know I don't have the time I once did.

All the more reason for living each day as fully as I can.

How old do yo feel mentally, emotionally and physically?

I am 56, & earned every grey hair. 

On days when I stay home & garden, work in the yard, or help oldest DD with her goats, I feel about 40ish. Sore, but younger.

When I have worked 2 or 3 nights in a row (RN, work 12 hour shift, 6PM-6AM), I feel about 86, LOL!   I have arthritis, for which I take glucosamine & occasionally flaxseed.  There are several granola-type bars & cookies that contain flaxseed & if I take those in my work lunch, it helps a lot. I did much better controlling my stress before my beloved little horse colicked & left us.  Caring for her was a wonderful stress release.
