When did you start to have age anxiety?

My age anxiety appeared when I was about 35 years old. I think about 35 years old is really a small watershed in my life.

First of all, I have some physical problems. Because my job is sitting in the office, engaged in communication and management, not facing the computer or mobile phone every day. Lack of sitting posture and exercise for a long time made my cervical spine and lumbar spine feel unbearable pain and numbness of hands and feet almost at the same time. So I asked for leave to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and CT and MRI were arranged. As a result, I found that the physiological curvature of the cervical spine became straight, which was close to the phenomenon of "anti-bow", which also caused me to have a headache and nausea, because it had oppressed my nerves. Especially after a day's work and sitting on the bus home after overtime, you will feel sick like carsickness. I also have a slight lumbar disc herniation, and sometimes there is nerve compression in my left leg, which is very uncomfortable. You can't bend over for a long time now, or you will have a backache when you straighten up.

Because I was seriously ill, the doctor prescribed me "fierce medicine", and acupuncture, massage, Chinese medicine hot compress and other treatments were all solved. Because of treatment three times a week, I also need to take frequent leave. Although leaders and colleagues didn't say anything, they could see their dissatisfaction.

I have always felt that I am in good health, and I am very skilled in playing basketball and football at school. However, since then, I really realized that I am old and my body has deteriorated because of my carelessness. I began to worry about my physical condition, and I realized that I couldn't continue to deteriorate like this, otherwise my body would be even more overwhelmed. I want a healthy life, I still have my favorite family to accompany me, and I still have great rivers and mountains all over the world to enjoy.

In a person's life, physical health is 1, while wealth, power and status are all zero. Without health, everything will be zero.

So I began to exercise actively. I got a card at the work gym, and I will force myself to do some exercise after lunch break or after work. Arrange swimming, running, iron throwing and cycling at least once a week. Even if there is no reversal of the physiological curvature of cervical spine, I hope to slow down the deterioration of the situation through exercise, relax the tense and stiff muscles, and let the physical condition develop in a good direction. After a period of persistence, I have clearly felt the happiness and benefits of exercise, and the cervical and lumbar vertebrae are not as uncomfortable as before.

Another thing that makes me anxious about my age is my job. 35 years old is a hurdle for many professionals. Although I am not in the internet industry, there will be no dilemma of leaving my job at the age of 35 without promotion, but in my enterprise, if I can't go further in my post at the age of 35, there will be basically no chance in the future. However, who doesn't want a promotion and a raise? But after the age of 35, I have basically broken my back and can lie flat.

In my opinion, with the growth of age, life experience is constantly enriched, and I will see more and more clearly, and I will know what I want in my life. When I was young, I always thought I had unlimited time to spend. There is endless energy. In fact, these ideas are all wrong. If you are young and don't work hard, you will be really sad. I indulged my health when I was young, but I need to pay it back when I am old.

So I also advise you with my experience, you must pay attention to your health and don't overdraw your body, such as staying up late, such as working at your desk for a long time. In addition, when you are young, you should work harder, learn more knowledge and master more skills, and you will never regret it. After all, many skills are not overwhelming, and now society is heavily involved and there is no means to make a living, so you may be depressed.
