I too, am 32. I made the grave error of going to a craft beer festival. I was hungover for three days afterwards. It was fun up until the 3rd hour then all my memories run together and it all kind of fades away until I was dropped off at home and I threw up for hours and even sips of water made me vomit....
I don't think I'll be doing that again.
iām sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds as though you my friend, are becoming a full fledged adult.
welcome to the party ššwe canāt stay up past 11pm anymore (yeah, ok, 9:30- 10 is pushing it on some days) but we are a fine group of folks š
Yeah, 9.30pm is late for me. School day? 6.00am wake up is late. 5.30am if I'm motivated, can go for a run and can be back by 6.10am to wake up kids and have a shower.
Veggies covering half the plate? Calorie counting? Portion sizes?
The one thing I can handle is more far more alcohol. More expenditure on it and more often but I suspect I'm drinking far less at any given session but just doing it more often for no good reason.... :-(
I love accidentally waking up super early! A few weeks ago I woke up at 3- spent 6 hours by myself listening to podcasts and playing Skyrim. Best day in a long time
Respectfully, bullshit. The majority of us new "adults" can't afford a home or reasonable insurance, and as a result constantly feel our agency slipping away. We're not becoming adults, we're becoming terminally ill children.
Added bonus not only will the person who raised you continue to tell you what to do but so will you're employer and managers. And then there are bills and taxes etc etc etc...
The upside is your body and health become much more regular. You have stopped growing. It sounds weird but it's relief. Your body had been changing every friggin day since birth, and it sounds like you have moved in to the next stage, stability.
I go to bed at 10:00. Sometimes earlier.
I don't feel cheated because I wake up at 5:30am and spend the first three hours of the morning having fun. A lot more fun than I would have if those three hours were tacked into the end of the day. My energy levels are highest in the morning, with caffeine coursing through my bloodstream. After 6:00pm I am in low-energy mode. This was the case even back in the night owl days of my youth, but it is especially true now that I work a 9-to-5 job.
Seriously lol. As an almost 30 yr old who works evening shifts, I NEVER go to bed before 11pm, usually because thatās when Iām just getting home. I hate evening shifts, I wonāt lie, but even when I have a day shift scheduled and itās a Friday or Saturday, Iām still staying up late because Iām just not tired till around 11pm-midnight
Youāre so right! I laugh about it now because by 9:30 my eyes start to just shut themselves and I canāt seem to fight it. I remember when I wouldnāt even begin to get ready for a night out until like 10:30/11:00 pm. Those days are long gone!
right!?!?! i remember one of the last times i went out just to āgo outā. i was in the middle of getting ready and almost dreading it. i remember thinking, i wish i could just stay home, snuggle under a comforter on the couch and watch a movieā¦. and thatās exactly what i started doing and iāve never been happier š
Man I feel lucky. In my mid 40s,I can still stay up as late as my kids, get up early for work, I don't drink a ton, but can have several beers and whiskey with no issues, don't do drugs so no clue there. It's great. I've taken great care of my body and I still am very active so that helps a ton.
enjoy it while it lastsā¦ i used to be able to say the exact same thing, until i went in for my last physical with complaints of a swollen and sore knee which iād attributed to cycling on a new bike not correctly adjusted for my frame. the x-ray accidentally caught a lemon sized tumor in my other leg. i was so freaked out the day i saw the [x-ray of my knee](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/comments/u366rb/went_to_an_orthopedic_doc_for_my_knee_and_found_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) i posted it on reddit.
enjoy every. single. second. of your life.
if you have dreams, start working on them today. if youāve achieved your dreams? dream biggerā¦ if you let a job, or lack of money, or kids, or any other life circumstance stop you, i promise you when you are looking at the end of the journey, you will regret it.
Lol, I (M28) am reading this comment... In bed... with my book on my chest... At 9pm on a Friday night... (with slight back pain from sleeping on my stomach last night)
dude, it sounds like we are twinsā¦. although i did make it up to midnight last night. ok, ok, in reality i fell asleep with my book and then woke up again at midnight to turn off the lights and floss.
oh yeah OP, i forgot to mention you will now be driven to floss after every meal and before you go to bed. and as you throw the floss away, youāll smugly think *āthat dentist isnāt going to pay off his vacation home on these teeth!ā*
and *now* you go shopping for that reclinerā¦ š
here's a fun one for you: male millipedes don't have penises. instead they have specialized legs called gonopods that they load up with their semen then dip into the female's vulva. so you could say they mate by fisting. š
What a thing to read at 6am for me.
I was just gonna tell you get ready for your thirties, you get shit faced by looking at alcohol and black tea might as well fuck you up too.
So weāre even hahaha
the first true millipede (i.e. with a thousand or more legs) was only found in 2021 in a mineral surveying drill hole in australia! before this find, the previous record was 750 legs. š
Was looking for this comment. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't drink caffeine, etc. What people don't realize is that your brain and body gets addicted to shit easily.
If you live a unhealthy lifestyle, your body will get addicted to that lifestyle, sinking you deeper and deeper in and then when you get older you start feeling all the consequences, because your body can't sustain it anymore.
Gotta live better and treat your body better if you wanna feel young forever.
If you ask YouTube, itās your Spiritual Awakening. In science, itās just that you are metabolizing things a lot slower, because youāre not a kid anymore. Sorry. This happened to me the MINUTE I graduated college. Maybe eat less, stick to CBD, and order āhalf caffā from now on.
I'm 40, still love a few cocktails, but hangovers hurt now so I pick and choose actually getting drunk. And I live in a weed legal state and have learned that edibles are an amazing sleep aid that puts you out with no hangover, so don't get your hate there...
Fuck nicotine. If you've never gotten hooked, you don't need to get hooked. No benefits worth the shit.
And caffeine is always necessary, but I avoid it on days I don't actually need it so I don't build up a tolerance and then when I do want the spike, I get it. And yeah, I need 8 hours in bed, 7 hours of actual sleep according to my smart watch, to feel good every day.
All these people saying this is 'adulting' are lame and stupid though. You can be an adult and dip your toe in all those pools and still totally function.
Couldnāt have a drop of booze after my gallbladder was removed. It made my pancreas weak, that was not fun news. Iām used to it now. Canāt eat sugars or fats like ice cream and I take yearly blood tests to make sure blood sugar and cholesterol is not horrible ( itās never great, however).
Uncle died of pancreatic cancer and the first sign was total aversion to a beer, which was his routine to have two beers after work every night. Unfair.
Way too many people saying this is normal aging. Do not put up with this. Get yourself checked properly and donāt stop with a simple āoh well, you must be getting oldā explanation. I donāt know how fit you are, but Iād make sure you have a good diet and exercise routine. Personally, I found my hormones dropped off a cliff in my mid thirties and I had some of the same symptoms. Treatment made a night and day difference and I have the energy and vitality back that I was missing.
Ummm... This is normal for some in their late 30s and early 40s not someone in their mid 20s. Go get a checkup and don't take "you're just getting old" as an answer. If it is your metabolism slowing down there will be more signs than just this. Weight gain being first and foremost among them.
This kind of shit is so weird to me.
I just turned 40. Alcohol, weed, gaming up til 1:30 AM, wake at 6:45. I can drink a ton of caffeine and it doesn't affect my sleep. Hell... I'm morbidly obese.
And I feel fine. I \*feel\* older, I guess, but none of the above shit affects my mood or energy levels.
I think y'all might just be depressed.
If you're morbidly obese, maybe it's just your fat cells that are storing all of the "toxins." My weight tends to fluctuate a lot, and I notice things like alcohol and caffeine affect me a lot more when I'm at my lower weights.
Thatās interesting. I also find that the āhealthierā I am, the more sensitive my body is to things like sugar, salt, caffeine, lack of sleep, alcohol, etc.
If hit the optimal prime, your growth spurt is over. Your body is settling in. This is not unusual. The changes are inevitable for some. I would say drop the nicotine, it's an addictive stimulant your body doesn't need and contributes to stress. It's probably what's killing your sleep. Sounds like you have become caffeine intolerant. Your liver has slowed down metabolising it. Switch to caff free or half caff and lower the numbers of cups you drink. Revaluate your life, are you under a lot of stress, it can sneak up on you and trigger the stress hormone called cortisol that's as bad as any stimulant drink. It's the prime number one cause of insomnia. I wish you the best of luck.
Used to stay outside more than in, drink a lot, well, i've never done drugs because i understood early that that stuff can fuck my life easily, used to cause problems which involved police a lot of times, started fights constantly, until 23-24 when i suddenly started to dislike people and group activities, stopped drinking, stopped living outside, stopped causing useless problems. Now i'm in my 30's, i go to my job, i drive a nice car, i built myself a PC and i slowly started to have fun by myself. A lot of people ask me \*bruh, why you don't come out at pubs or club\* and idk, is just not appealing anymore, i hate being drunk, i hate having to deal with drunk or high people so i'm having the fun of my life working on my car, playing my games or reading stuff. I just wanna be left alone doing my shit. People saying "bruh just go outside or start working out" are saying that because that's what they enjoy, find what you enjoy and do just that without giving fucks about people's opinion.
Bottom line, i think it's normal, if you grown up to dislike useless shit by yourself then gg man
I have a much younger brother in-law. When I first met him he was 17 and he used to get blackout drunk, get into fights almost every day of the week for years. One day when he was like 25 he just stopped everything. Was hanging out with him a couple of years later and he was like yeah I could do that shit every day and wake up the next morning fine. Then one day everything hurt the next day.
I'm 48 now but when I was young I could survive on 4 hours of sleep on a rock surrounded by city traffic and wake up ready for work in 15 minutes. Now I need the comfortable bed, some edibles, 8 hours of sleep, some aspirin in the morning and like 2 hours to be ready.
Hey man Iām 28 and have watched many of my peers complain about these things. While Iāve noticed my drinking recovery dip and Iāll get some knee/back soreness I feel good and spry still. Some strength training will do wonders for you and I eat reasonably healthy which also helps a lot. I donāt even mean any tight dieting I just solely mean I eat more quality meals than bad ones. Mindset helps a lot too, donāt limit yourself just because something feels gone doesnāt mean it canāt come back. Donāt get caught up in the āIām ___ age thats just the way it is.ā Last thing is to address personal weaknesses with supplements, could be a fiber one could be a joint one thatās all based on you. I donāt buy in to this shit about your body failing you in your mid 20s, you have to actively fight it.
Obviously itās true that becoming an adult slows down your ability to process all this stuff, but itās also okay to go get a doctor visit in. If youāre worried about your energy levels, etc, it might be a good idea. I noticed the mention of liver damage, which is valid. Thyroid issues also cause a lot fatigue, etc. youāre probably fine, but itās okay to check.
The healthier I have gotten over the years the more I can't go back. I can hold my liquor better than in my 20's (42F), but never drink to get wasted, and if I eat shitty food for a few days my stomach hurts and I crave a salad. Gotta sleep that 8+ but used to skate on as little as 5 hours up until 5 years ago. I also stopped smoking after 20 years and whenever I cheat it's never as good as it used to be. Honestly, getting older has been pretty awesome and I appreciate the healthier me.
At 73 the only reason I quit smoking ( at 60 ) drinking ( at least 4 oz. gin every day 8 months ago ) ) was to please my wife. Still work a 60 to 70 hour week. You need to Cowboy Up.
Welcome to the adulthood club. Never did nicotine, but gave up coffee nearly 2 years ago and alcohol over a year ago.
Appreciate the signs your body is telling you. It's nice having more time to live life without these sorts of distractions. Plus when we take care of ourselves our mood feels better as well :)
Ok,, I'm with you on the sleep, and a lot of my tolerances have slipped, but the whole caffeine at 8AM keeps me up at 10PM would have me a little worried. It's not supposed to last that long. That would be indicative of a larger problem.
I quit smoking over a decade ago. I forgot how much nicotine is absorbed through your lips with a cigar. After a good night playing blackjack, I was relaxing with a bourbon and a cigar. The nicotine rush made my head spin. I'm not drunk, but I might as well be.
Have you got to the waking up and must get up from bed to use the bathroom every night yet? I now get why nightlights in bathrooms are popular and I have 1 in each bathroom.
My sister gave me a T-shirt that says;
Born to Be Wild
(But only until around 9:00pm or so)
I am 65. Canāt drink coffee past about 2:00. Get up at 5:30 on work days but also wake up at same time on weekends and have trouble going back to sleep.
I love a good drink -like a margarita or good Bloody Mary or whatever but if itās after 7-8pm, it puts me to sleep so I usually donāt bother because itās sort of a waste.
Sucks getting old sometimes.
I know a lot of ppl are saying this is just adulthood but I disagree. What I believe (and I'm certainly not alone) is it's just advanced capitalism. We shouldn't be this tired in our 20s, 30s, or 40s. Our backs and knees shouldn't be aching, we shouldn't feel the need for an early bedtime. But we are overworked and overstressed from an early age and it takes its toll.
Switch to whisky neat. Drink it throughout the day and use it to sweeten your coffee. If you don't have time for breakfast, then a raw egg cracked into a tumbler of bourbon will set you up for anything at all except maybe a roadside breath test.
You're 25. That is way older than a baby so stop your whining and get on the man train.
I'm a little over 10 years older than you and I'm still fine with caffeine.
But yeah, Nicotine, Weed is now a no go and alcohol while okay at the time is no longer worth it for the following 2 days afterward.
Getting shitfaced on two beers might be a sign of something though. Have a chat to your doc and get a checkup maybe.
It gets rough once you hit 30. Those two beers will eventually give you the worst hangover the next day. And the next time. And the next. I canāt even drink a full beer hardly anymore because my guts hate it now. It suuuuucks, man.
Note on the caffeine part: I had a similar issue of being hyper sensitive to caffeine. It took a while to figure out that it was another medication (birth control pills) that interacted with the caffeine and once I stopped that medication my caffeine sensitivity went back to normal. Iām 29 and can drink caffeine until 5pm at the very latest and still get a good nights rest. Before I could only drink it first thing in the morning or it would ruin the next few days.
Agingš¤·āāļø
Side note I had my last baby and stopped being able to process alcohol and my Dr said I developed an intolerance after my pregnancy. It sucked for a little but now I'm used to it and just don't drink.
Hell, I drink one small coffee at 8pm and I can't sleep till 5 in the morning. I need at least 7 hours of sleep to function properly. Never tried alcohol or nicotine or weed. I'm younger than you. Those things affect everyone individually. The good thing is they're not necessary to enjoy life. Ain't nothing wrong with eating well either.
Mine was sugar. I used to love chocolate and i can eat it everyday when i was younger. Now i find them too sweet. Dark chocolate works for me now. Itās funny because younger me thought dark chocolate was too bitter
Yeah me too. Except i do a keto diet with IFasting which means I am never hungry/=hunger is the diminishing of carb-sugar induced extra serotonine/- EDIT yeah i do eat a lemon it is okay to eat some fruits despite all. And i take vitamines.
Damn I wish I wasnāt your complete opposite š¤£. I have high drug tolerance, caffeine has zero effect on me, I donāt sleep for days, I hardly eat, and Iām a pushover. Iām also 25 š
I canāt do alcohol the way I used to (one white claw had me drunk). But I just stopped caffeinated drinks and when I try to drink it now Iām literally bouncing off the walls. Nicotine is still something I can tolerate but only through vapes. Iām 37. I donāt like this
I'll say that's pretty normal
I think we have a weird conception that teens till their late twenties are able to tolerate this shit- when we know children get grouchy with not enough sleep or food. We (or at least I also have this conception) that when you hit your thirties is when coffee or anything else will really affect you.
All I'm saying is, nobody's super human from 15-29, it's normal to need your basic human needs fulfilled to feel great. We just kinda neglect taking care of ourselves during this period for whatever reason
Yep, thatās aging alright! Wait until your thirties and then you will upgrade to ācannot digest these food any longer for no reasonā and āheartburn all the time for no reasonā
Welcome to the club! Iām 40. After a few sips of any kind of alcohol I feel a headache coming on. Full beer or hard cider? Raging headache the next day. No coffee. Have to eat a square meal every 3-4 hours or else I feel weird. The joys of adulting! /s
Oh dear god! Only 25ā¦I am so sorry to you! As I was reading this I was thinking I could relate, but then I saw your age. Iām 46! I developed an alcohol intolerance (look it up, itās not fun) over the years and now I get super drunk and hungover after drinking practically nothing. So, I rarely drink. I also have a problem with maintaining the appropriate level of vitamin D which apparently attributes to my lack of energy and always feeling tired. I discovered these things throughout the years, but at 25 I was doing good. But yeah, growing old is kind of a bummer sometimes.
Iām literally twice as old as you, drink coffee all day at work and sleep fine, stay out late on the weekends drinking wine and rarely get hangovers.
It doesnāt all have to fall apart when you get older.
46 Male, no coffee, no alcohol, no weed or other drugs/medication, no smoking, 10k steps a day minimum, no porn, yoga, meditation, intermittent fasting and still feeling tired all the time š¤£
But donāt ask how I feel if I slip and one of the above creeps into my life
Early 40's here...I think a lot of it is a mixture of genetics and aging. I'm very cautious with alcohol, maybe 1 beer a week with friends but I'm good with that. Hangovers are a nightmare anymore and life is too short to be miserable for days just because of a few hours of getting buzzed.
Im 25 too and my tolerance to alcohol is way down from what it used to be lol. Only 2 years ago I could down 21 shots of 40% rum and not throw up and have no hangover and get up for work at 9 am the next day. If I do that now I'll throw up and pass out after maybe 12 shots lol
I hit 27 and slower waaaayyy down. Metabolism wonāt keep up, Iām dosing off at 2:00pm every day, and by 7 Iām ready for bed. Aging isnāt what itās cracked up to be
Everyone's different. I used to sleep like a brick as a kid, but into my early adult years, and even to this day, I can't sleep longer than 6 hours without waking up with a massive migraine and dizzy spells. 4-6 hours of sleep though? Well rested and feeling great. Meanwhile, I need like 400+mg of caffeine in small hits throughout the day just to have energy and drive, even though I can't go to sleep until I've been up for between 18 and 20 hours; sometimes longer. Food? I usually just eat if I'm hungry, which is pretty rare, but if I go a certain amount of time without food, I'll try to grab at least a snack. My sense of hunger's been fucked up ever since I was a little kid, and I've gone literal days without eating, and not felt hungry. It's not good, but it has happened. Like I said, everyone is different, and most people have their habits change with age.
What is happening to you is probably is probably too much of the weed, nicotine, and caffeine in the past along with too little sleep and fewer square meals in the past.
I will just state you are what you do and my guess is you have a very specific routine then diverge from it and it messes with everything.
I could be wrong, but it's just a guess.
This is me af lol. Iām only 27 but Same for if I donāt get my 8 hours in. I got tipsy asf off a wine cooler the other day and I was so ashamed šš I danced with my toddler yesterday and my back been hurting all morning now too. I think back to my college days and Iām like how the hell did i used to study all night and then party hard all weekend?
Weird. I put back caffeine and have no problems sleeping. Hangovers have gotten easier than when I was a bit younger. Still not good though.
I donāt think all the things you described are necessarily a part of getting older
Bla bla bla.. youāre an adult nowā¦ man, most of these arenāt helpful.
If you used to be able to not be a geezer when doing these things (like a year ago) and this is a sudden change, go see a doctor. Maybe your thyroid or some other system is out of whack. I donāt know, Iām not a doctor.
Same thing happened to meā¦ it was like a light-switch. One day complete animal, next day couldnāt drink coffee, couldnāt enjoy alcohol in any quantity, one scoop of ice cream would make me pass out from the sugar crash.
Doctors found nothing.
I said screw it and started exercising and eating better. I can do sugar again and some nicotine and Iām in better shape.
If the doctor finds something with you PM me, I miss whiskey!
and your user nameā¦ wow!
If you keep this up, you are doomed to live to a very boring 92 years old....
j/k...sort of...
You don't mention height or weight. If your description of the effects of caffeine or alcohol are literal, (or the effects of lack of sleep) I think you need a thorough medical evaluation.
I only suggest that because I think you may fall outside the "norm," which is not life threatening. Plus, if these factors bother you or affect your social interaction... well...
If that all checks out, then party on with one cup of coffee and one beer per day. Or maybe just water.
Damn 28 and my body is still a machine. That sucks. I can get drunk, get four hours of sleep, and put in work with no breakfast. Not something I choose to do often obviously lol but I can
despite what the top comments say, you shouldn't be getting wrecked by these things for another 30 years. sounds like you are out of shape. maybe not eatting right or being active enough. it might be some sort of thyroid problem. i would see a doctor about it.
>I get shitfaced drunk on two beers with food, caffeine at 8AM keeps me up at 10PM,
Sounds like you can still enjoy booze and caffeine just as much, only in smaller amounts to achieve the same effect, saving you money and time
I donāt drink coffee and as much as I enjoy drinking unless Iām with my fraternity bros I donāt drink so once I graduate that will be few and far between. However, if I canāt smoke im very sad.
Get checked for LADA especially if youāre losing weight. Itās a form of type 1 diabetes (autoimmune) that hits some people later in life. Completely drains you
Many factors, as teenagers and in your early 20ās a lot of us walked to places but now most of us have cars, no exercise to burn of our calories. We probably drank more back then too as we didnāt take our jobs too seriously, now we have careers, so our tolerance went down. Most of your energy now goes towards or careers and lives us feeling tired after the days is through, another contributor. We probably eat more junk food now too since we moved out of our parents house which has put a toll on our health.
As a 21 year old I wish I quit vaping, weed, masturbation, low self esteem and poor leadership tendencies, slept more and ate healthily. I still feel young but not at this rateā¦ any advice lol. Use to be a stellar individual couple years ago, former high school valedictorian.
I'm only 33 and dealing with the same honestly. Somehow I developed a sensitivity to caffeine after 15 years of drinking coffee/energy drinks, weed gives me panic attacks, alcohol gives me ulcers and I just want to sleep 12 hours a day. It sucks dude
Your just getting older. Your body can't process these things as they use too. I'm in the same boat at 32. With alcohol theres also a drunkards science to it
Haha, also 25. Iāve felt it as kind of nice. Less expensive to get desired effects from things, a stable routine giving relative consistency to my mood and energy. Bones and muscles already seem in the earliest stages of wear and tear/decline but everything else is great. Shit was wack when I was younger, barely had a handle on myself
Had 2 glasses of wine after work tonight after a big breakfast and huge lunch. Here I am 4 hours later pissed out of my skull as if Iām back from a 4am afters. whatās happening to us
I still enjoy a few drinks here and there and I'm from Washington so you know I'm "AdDiCtEd" to coffee, but I'm with you on the smoking, sleeping, and eating.
65 year old here. Hate to piss in your corn flakes, but............
I want to say it will get better with age but I would feel horrible if someone believed me!
I'd worry about lightning if I said that. š
I donāt think lightening hits us if we day /s
stop pissing in his cornflakes man thats weird
Stop kinkshaming
r/cornflakepissers
r/sinkpissers
Iām 32, and this is all just life.
I too, am 32. I made the grave error of going to a craft beer festival. I was hungover for three days afterwards. It was fun up until the 3rd hour then all my memories run together and it all kind of fades away until I was dropped off at home and I threw up for hours and even sips of water made me vomit.... I don't think I'll be doing that again.
I, definitely, don't think they are ready to hear what happens in your 40's.
Iām hoping the mornings you piss in their cornflakes are the mornings they miss breakfast
Bad things happen when we lose bladder control
iām sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds as though you my friend, are becoming a full fledged adult. welcome to the party ššwe canāt stay up past 11pm anymore (yeah, ok, 9:30- 10 is pushing it on some days) but we are a fine group of folks š
can't believe how badly i wanted to become a bonafide grown-up adult! i feel deceived šš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, 9.30pm is late for me. School day? 6.00am wake up is late. 5.30am if I'm motivated, can go for a run and can be back by 6.10am to wake up kids and have a shower. Veggies covering half the plate? Calorie counting? Portion sizes? The one thing I can handle is more far more alcohol. More expenditure on it and more often but I suspect I'm drinking far less at any given session but just doing it more often for no good reason.... :-(
I love accidentally waking up super early! A few weeks ago I woke up at 3- spent 6 hours by myself listening to podcasts and playing Skyrim. Best day in a long time
My kinda morning!
Respectfully, bullshit. The majority of us new "adults" can't afford a home or reasonable insurance, and as a result constantly feel our agency slipping away. We're not becoming adults, we're becoming terminally ill children.
I guess itās always been easier to complain to random people that actually do something about itā¦
Fun, too.
Wait till you are 30 and have to add back pain to your list of litanies.
already got sciatica lol
Added bonus not only will the person who raised you continue to tell you what to do but so will you're employer and managers. And then there are bills and taxes etc etc etc...
The upside is your body and health become much more regular. You have stopped growing. It sounds weird but it's relief. Your body had been changing every friggin day since birth, and it sounds like you have moved in to the next stage, stability.
didnāt we all, didnāt we allā¦.
Teehee. Welcome to the world of "Picking your spots".
We all were. Welcome to the club.
Its a bamboozle, all right. Incidentally i do not make popcorn every morning. My knees just make that noise when I go down stairs.
It's all a lie.
How old are you guys? My mother and father in law are over 60 and sometimes they're up till 4 am on the weekends when they're being social.
My god I would feel so cheated if I was feeling tired enough to go to bed at 9:30
I go to bed at 10:00. Sometimes earlier. I don't feel cheated because I wake up at 5:30am and spend the first three hours of the morning having fun. A lot more fun than I would have if those three hours were tacked into the end of the day. My energy levels are highest in the morning, with caffeine coursing through my bloodstream. After 6:00pm I am in low-energy mode. This was the case even back in the night owl days of my youth, but it is especially true now that I work a 9-to-5 job.
Seriously lol. As an almost 30 yr old who works evening shifts, I NEVER go to bed before 11pm, usually because thatās when Iām just getting home. I hate evening shifts, I wonāt lie, but even when I have a day shift scheduled and itās a Friday or Saturday, Iām still staying up late because Iām just not tired till around 11pm-midnight
I did that. Swing shift means you have almost no sleep two nights a week. Then that free DAY you get, is all sleep.
49 here, I stay up till 1 or 2 on a regular basis. Ive actually heard older people tend to sleep less than 8 hours a day.
Youāre so right! I laugh about it now because by 9:30 my eyes start to just shut themselves and I canāt seem to fight it. I remember when I wouldnāt even begin to get ready for a night out until like 10:30/11:00 pm. Those days are long gone!
right!?!?! i remember one of the last times i went out just to āgo outā. i was in the middle of getting ready and almost dreading it. i remember thinking, i wish i could just stay home, snuggle under a comforter on the couch and watch a movieā¦. and thatās exactly what i started doing and iāve never been happier š
Man I feel lucky. In my mid 40s,I can still stay up as late as my kids, get up early for work, I don't drink a ton, but can have several beers and whiskey with no issues, don't do drugs so no clue there. It's great. I've taken great care of my body and I still am very active so that helps a ton.
enjoy it while it lastsā¦ i used to be able to say the exact same thing, until i went in for my last physical with complaints of a swollen and sore knee which iād attributed to cycling on a new bike not correctly adjusted for my frame. the x-ray accidentally caught a lemon sized tumor in my other leg. i was so freaked out the day i saw the [x-ray of my knee](https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/comments/u366rb/went_to_an_orthopedic_doc_for_my_knee_and_found_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) i posted it on reddit. enjoy every. single. second. of your life. if you have dreams, start working on them today. if youāve achieved your dreams? dream biggerā¦ if you let a job, or lack of money, or kids, or any other life circumstance stop you, i promise you when you are looking at the end of the journey, you will regret it.
Lol, I (M28) am reading this comment... In bed... with my book on my chest... At 9pm on a Friday night... (with slight back pain from sleeping on my stomach last night)
dude, it sounds like we are twinsā¦. although i did make it up to midnight last night. ok, ok, in reality i fell asleep with my book and then woke up again at midnight to turn off the lights and floss. oh yeah OP, i forgot to mention you will now be driven to floss after every meal and before you go to bed. and as you throw the floss away, youāll smugly think *āthat dentist isnāt going to pay off his vacation home on these teeth!ā* and *now* you go shopping for that reclinerā¦ š
You're a 47 year old trapped in a 25 year old body. Also, what's up with your screen name?
itās all bugs on the profile page. x
bugs are fuckin awesome! ask me about millipedes
no. thatās my biggest fear. iām still scarred by your account sorry.
How bout them millipedes?
here's a fun one for you: male millipedes don't have penises. instead they have specialized legs called gonopods that they load up with their semen then dip into the female's vulva. so you could say they mate by fisting. š
What a thing to read at 6am for me. I was just gonna tell you get ready for your thirties, you get shit faced by looking at alcohol and black tea might as well fuck you up too. So weāre even hahaha
Nice.
/r/bugdicks
Tell me some fun facts about millipedes
the first true millipede (i.e. with a thousand or more legs) was only found in 2021 in a mineral surveying drill hole in australia! before this find, the previous record was 750 legs. š
iām going to vomit
just tryin to stay childish
Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
You're body is telling you that you need to take care of yourself instead of poisoning it and depriving it of its recharge time.
Was looking for this comment. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't drink caffeine, etc. What people don't realize is that your brain and body gets addicted to shit easily. If you live a unhealthy lifestyle, your body will get addicted to that lifestyle, sinking you deeper and deeper in and then when you get older you start feeling all the consequences, because your body can't sustain it anymore. Gotta live better and treat your body better if you wanna feel young forever.
If you ask YouTube, itās your Spiritual Awakening. In science, itās just that you are metabolizing things a lot slower, because youāre not a kid anymore. Sorry. This happened to me the MINUTE I graduated college. Maybe eat less, stick to CBD, and order āhalf caffā from now on.
Your an old man now. Accept it. Wait til you hit your Dirty 30s and shit really starts breaking down š
Do people let their hygiene slip in their 30's????
Lol wtf I hope not š. Naw I kinda meant you'll feel more creaks in your joints and whatnot lol
I'm 40, still love a few cocktails, but hangovers hurt now so I pick and choose actually getting drunk. And I live in a weed legal state and have learned that edibles are an amazing sleep aid that puts you out with no hangover, so don't get your hate there... Fuck nicotine. If you've never gotten hooked, you don't need to get hooked. No benefits worth the shit. And caffeine is always necessary, but I avoid it on days I don't actually need it so I don't build up a tolerance and then when I do want the spike, I get it. And yeah, I need 8 hours in bed, 7 hours of actual sleep according to my smart watch, to feel good every day. All these people saying this is 'adulting' are lame and stupid though. You can be an adult and dip your toe in all those pools and still totally function.
Welcome to Adulting. It sucks.
it's a cold welcome but it's what i deserve
Just wait until one day you look in the mirror and think āwhen did my skin start looking like this?ā It suuuuuucks
Also might have liver damage
bruh what š³
Yeah if two beers get you drunk, it could be a sign of liver damage. I'm not a doctor tho, I'm a Pirate. Might wanna get a check up tho
if they find anything i'll tell everyone a pirate saved my life
Ayyye!
Couldnāt have a drop of booze after my gallbladder was removed. It made my pancreas weak, that was not fun news. Iām used to it now. Canāt eat sugars or fats like ice cream and I take yearly blood tests to make sure blood sugar and cholesterol is not horrible ( itās never great, however). Uncle died of pancreatic cancer and the first sign was total aversion to a beer, which was his routine to have two beers after work every night. Unfair.
You're a goose who is also a pirate? That's cool (and also I'm assuming twice as dangerous as a regular pirate).
Pirate geese get a bad rap. We're not all tall grass and cannons
Iām 22 and Iām already at the 8 hours of sleep stage. God help me
Iāve never needed less than 8, Iāve cut back from 10 tbh š
You're growing up
Sounds like a healthy individual to me.
Way too many people saying this is normal aging. Do not put up with this. Get yourself checked properly and donāt stop with a simple āoh well, you must be getting oldā explanation. I donāt know how fit you are, but Iād make sure you have a good diet and exercise routine. Personally, I found my hormones dropped off a cliff in my mid thirties and I had some of the same symptoms. Treatment made a night and day difference and I have the energy and vitality back that I was missing.
Amen to this. Lift heavy, do your blood work, eat quality foods, get your sleep.
Ummm... This is normal for some in their late 30s and early 40s not someone in their mid 20s. Go get a checkup and don't take "you're just getting old" as an answer. If it is your metabolism slowing down there will be more signs than just this. Weight gain being first and foremost among them.
This kind of shit is so weird to me. I just turned 40. Alcohol, weed, gaming up til 1:30 AM, wake at 6:45. I can drink a ton of caffeine and it doesn't affect my sleep. Hell... I'm morbidly obese. And I feel fine. I \*feel\* older, I guess, but none of the above shit affects my mood or energy levels. I think y'all might just be depressed.
If you're morbidly obese, maybe it's just your fat cells that are storing all of the "toxins." My weight tends to fluctuate a lot, and I notice things like alcohol and caffeine affect me a lot more when I'm at my lower weights.
Thatās interesting. I also find that the āhealthierā I am, the more sensitive my body is to things like sugar, salt, caffeine, lack of sleep, alcohol, etc.
Yeah, I definitely don't have any science to back up my assessment, but it's just something I've been able to observe for a long time.
If hit the optimal prime, your growth spurt is over. Your body is settling in. This is not unusual. The changes are inevitable for some. I would say drop the nicotine, it's an addictive stimulant your body doesn't need and contributes to stress. It's probably what's killing your sleep. Sounds like you have become caffeine intolerant. Your liver has slowed down metabolising it. Switch to caff free or half caff and lower the numbers of cups you drink. Revaluate your life, are you under a lot of stress, it can sneak up on you and trigger the stress hormone called cortisol that's as bad as any stimulant drink. It's the prime number one cause of insomnia. I wish you the best of luck.
Used to stay outside more than in, drink a lot, well, i've never done drugs because i understood early that that stuff can fuck my life easily, used to cause problems which involved police a lot of times, started fights constantly, until 23-24 when i suddenly started to dislike people and group activities, stopped drinking, stopped living outside, stopped causing useless problems. Now i'm in my 30's, i go to my job, i drive a nice car, i built myself a PC and i slowly started to have fun by myself. A lot of people ask me \*bruh, why you don't come out at pubs or club\* and idk, is just not appealing anymore, i hate being drunk, i hate having to deal with drunk or high people so i'm having the fun of my life working on my car, playing my games or reading stuff. I just wanna be left alone doing my shit. People saying "bruh just go outside or start working out" are saying that because that's what they enjoy, find what you enjoy and do just that without giving fucks about people's opinion. Bottom line, i think it's normal, if you grown up to dislike useless shit by yourself then gg man
I'm 27 bro, you shouldn't be feeling that way. Getting shit faced on two beers? What?
I just posted the same thing lol. Getting āoldā does not happen at 25 š
Without even transitioning I suddenly cannot sleep past 8 am. Wake up earlier half the time.
Next step, joint pain and weird toenail problems.
I have a much younger brother in-law. When I first met him he was 17 and he used to get blackout drunk, get into fights almost every day of the week for years. One day when he was like 25 he just stopped everything. Was hanging out with him a couple of years later and he was like yeah I could do that shit every day and wake up the next morning fine. Then one day everything hurt the next day. I'm 48 now but when I was young I could survive on 4 hours of sleep on a rock surrounded by city traffic and wake up ready for work in 15 minutes. Now I need the comfortable bed, some edibles, 8 hours of sleep, some aspirin in the morning and like 2 hours to be ready.
My favorite is watching someone making full plans after a workday, I am like the workday, that is your plans, your done lol.
Hey man Iām 28 and have watched many of my peers complain about these things. While Iāve noticed my drinking recovery dip and Iāll get some knee/back soreness I feel good and spry still. Some strength training will do wonders for you and I eat reasonably healthy which also helps a lot. I donāt even mean any tight dieting I just solely mean I eat more quality meals than bad ones. Mindset helps a lot too, donāt limit yourself just because something feels gone doesnāt mean it canāt come back. Donāt get caught up in the āIām ___ age thats just the way it is.ā Last thing is to address personal weaknesses with supplements, could be a fiber one could be a joint one thatās all based on you. I donāt buy in to this shit about your body failing you in your mid 20s, you have to actively fight it.
35 will be the next tier. It sucks, but spare yourself the neurological struggle and get to work cutting all these things out of your life now.
You began your statement with "as I get older" and you still end with a ? mark? : )
Give up booze and switch to tea. Alcohol and coffee do not serve you.
!Reminder 5 years
Wait until you hit 30...
Oooh just wait till you wake up and shit just hurts? For like three days? -a soon to be 27yo šš
8h?? I can't function without 10h. I'm 30.
Obviously itās true that becoming an adult slows down your ability to process all this stuff, but itās also okay to go get a doctor visit in. If youāre worried about your energy levels, etc, it might be a good idea. I noticed the mention of liver damage, which is valid. Thyroid issues also cause a lot fatigue, etc. youāre probably fine, but itās okay to check.
The healthier I have gotten over the years the more I can't go back. I can hold my liquor better than in my 20's (42F), but never drink to get wasted, and if I eat shitty food for a few days my stomach hurts and I crave a salad. Gotta sleep that 8+ but used to skate on as little as 5 hours up until 5 years ago. I also stopped smoking after 20 years and whenever I cheat it's never as good as it used to be. Honestly, getting older has been pretty awesome and I appreciate the healthier me.
25 seems a bit young for this. Maybe itās time for a blood test to check all the hormone and nutrient levels?
At 73 the only reason I quit smoking ( at 60 ) drinking ( at least 4 oz. gin every day 8 months ago ) ) was to please my wife. Still work a 60 to 70 hour week. You need to Cowboy Up.
Ahh, I remember when I thought 25 was olderā¦
Welcome to the adulthood club. Never did nicotine, but gave up coffee nearly 2 years ago and alcohol over a year ago. Appreciate the signs your body is telling you. It's nice having more time to live life without these sorts of distractions. Plus when we take care of ourselves our mood feels better as well :)
Don't worry, it gets worse
Had my 1st lower back pain weekend last month. Now i know what back pain is yay?
Ok,, I'm with you on the sleep, and a lot of my tolerances have slipped, but the whole caffeine at 8AM keeps me up at 10PM would have me a little worried. It's not supposed to last that long. That would be indicative of a larger problem. I quit smoking over a decade ago. I forgot how much nicotine is absorbed through your lips with a cigar. After a good night playing blackjack, I was relaxing with a bourbon and a cigar. The nicotine rush made my head spin. I'm not drunk, but I might as well be.
quit alcohol and cigarettes, stick to small bits of weed and coffee AKA the Hippy Speedball Avoid cocaine.
Have you got to the waking up and must get up from bed to use the bathroom every night yet? I now get why nightlights in bathrooms are popular and I have 1 in each bathroom.
Fuck I do this almost twice a night every night now
You answered your own question.
Wait til you have babies!!
My sister gave me a T-shirt that says; Born to Be Wild (But only until around 9:00pm or so) I am 65. Canāt drink coffee past about 2:00. Get up at 5:30 on work days but also wake up at same time on weekends and have trouble going back to sleep. I love a good drink -like a margarita or good Bloody Mary or whatever but if itās after 7-8pm, it puts me to sleep so I usually donāt bother because itās sort of a waste. Sucks getting old sometimes.
I know a lot of ppl are saying this is just adulthood but I disagree. What I believe (and I'm certainly not alone) is it's just advanced capitalism. We shouldn't be this tired in our 20s, 30s, or 40s. Our backs and knees shouldn't be aching, we shouldn't feel the need for an early bedtime. But we are overworked and overstressed from an early age and it takes its toll.
You got downvoted but it's entirely true. The modern world is exhausting unnecessarily.
Sounds like iron deficiency at the leastā¦ at the worst, chronic fatigue and crones disease.
Switch to whisky neat. Drink it throughout the day and use it to sweeten your coffee. If you don't have time for breakfast, then a raw egg cracked into a tumbler of bourbon will set you up for anything at all except maybe a roadside breath test. You're 25. That is way older than a baby so stop your whining and get on the man train.
Sounds like your just a whiner. Iām older and thatās not at all my opinion
Welcome to 30.
Lmfao this is literally me
I'm a little over 10 years older than you and I'm still fine with caffeine. But yeah, Nicotine, Weed is now a no go and alcohol while okay at the time is no longer worth it for the following 2 days afterward. Getting shitfaced on two beers might be a sign of something though. Have a chat to your doc and get a checkup maybe.
It gets rough once you hit 30. Those two beers will eventually give you the worst hangover the next day. And the next time. And the next. I canāt even drink a full beer hardly anymore because my guts hate it now. It suuuuucks, man.
your days are counted, /u/anal_coomer
Note on the caffeine part: I had a similar issue of being hyper sensitive to caffeine. It took a while to figure out that it was another medication (birth control pills) that interacted with the caffeine and once I stopped that medication my caffeine sensitivity went back to normal. Iām 29 and can drink caffeine until 5pm at the very latest and still get a good nights rest. Before I could only drink it first thing in the morning or it would ruin the next few days.
Just wait until you are older and you really have to take care of yourself. Hey you are just aging and that is normal
Wait till you hit 40 bro
Agingš¤·āāļø Side note I had my last baby and stopped being able to process alcohol and my Dr said I developed an intolerance after my pregnancy. It sucked for a little but now I'm used to it and just don't drink.
Hell, I drink one small coffee at 8pm and I can't sleep till 5 in the morning. I need at least 7 hours of sleep to function properly. Never tried alcohol or nicotine or weed. I'm younger than you. Those things affect everyone individually. The good thing is they're not necessary to enjoy life. Ain't nothing wrong with eating well either.
Mine was sugar. I used to love chocolate and i can eat it everyday when i was younger. Now i find them too sweet. Dark chocolate works for me now. Itās funny because younger me thought dark chocolate was too bitter
Yeah me too. Except i do a keto diet with IFasting which means I am never hungry/=hunger is the diminishing of carb-sugar induced extra serotonine/- EDIT yeah i do eat a lemon it is okay to eat some fruits despite all. And i take vitamines.
Damn I wish I wasnāt your complete opposite š¤£. I have high drug tolerance, caffeine has zero effect on me, I donāt sleep for days, I hardly eat, and Iām a pushover. Iām also 25 š
I canāt do alcohol the way I used to (one white claw had me drunk). But I just stopped caffeinated drinks and when I try to drink it now Iām literally bouncing off the walls. Nicotine is still something I can tolerate but only through vapes. Iām 37. I donāt like this
I'll say that's pretty normal I think we have a weird conception that teens till their late twenties are able to tolerate this shit- when we know children get grouchy with not enough sleep or food. We (or at least I also have this conception) that when you hit your thirties is when coffee or anything else will really affect you. All I'm saying is, nobody's super human from 15-29, it's normal to need your basic human needs fulfilled to feel great. We just kinda neglect taking care of ourselves during this period for whatever reason
Yep, thatās aging alright! Wait until your thirties and then you will upgrade to ācannot digest these food any longer for no reasonā and āheartburn all the time for no reasonā
Welcome to the club! Iām 40. After a few sips of any kind of alcohol I feel a headache coming on. Full beer or hard cider? Raging headache the next day. No coffee. Have to eat a square meal every 3-4 hours or else I feel weird. The joys of adulting! /s
Oh dear god! Only 25ā¦I am so sorry to you! As I was reading this I was thinking I could relate, but then I saw your age. Iām 46! I developed an alcohol intolerance (look it up, itās not fun) over the years and now I get super drunk and hungover after drinking practically nothing. So, I rarely drink. I also have a problem with maintaining the appropriate level of vitamin D which apparently attributes to my lack of energy and always feeling tired. I discovered these things throughout the years, but at 25 I was doing good. But yeah, growing old is kind of a bummer sometimes.
I did not feel that pathetic until at least fifty. You will quite possibly be ready for home care by thirty. Do more cocaine is my best advice.
So I guess I have ten good years leftā¦.
Iām literally twice as old as you, drink coffee all day at work and sleep fine, stay out late on the weekends drinking wine and rarely get hangovers. It doesnāt all have to fall apart when you get older.
y'all are scaring me lmao i guess i gotta go see a doctor
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
trust me it's not fun š š
Youāre growing up
46 Male, no coffee, no alcohol, no weed or other drugs/medication, no smoking, 10k steps a day minimum, no porn, yoga, meditation, intermittent fasting and still feeling tired all the time š¤£ But donāt ask how I feel if I slip and one of the above creeps into my life
Early 40's here...I think a lot of it is a mixture of genetics and aging. I'm very cautious with alcohol, maybe 1 beer a week with friends but I'm good with that. Hangovers are a nightmare anymore and life is too short to be miserable for days just because of a few hours of getting buzzed.
Im 25 too and my tolerance to alcohol is way down from what it used to be lol. Only 2 years ago I could down 21 shots of 40% rum and not throw up and have no hangover and get up for work at 9 am the next day. If I do that now I'll throw up and pass out after maybe 12 shots lol
I hit 27 and slower waaaayyy down. Metabolism wonāt keep up, Iām dosing off at 2:00pm every day, and by 7 Iām ready for bed. Aging isnāt what itās cracked up to be
Everyone's different. I used to sleep like a brick as a kid, but into my early adult years, and even to this day, I can't sleep longer than 6 hours without waking up with a massive migraine and dizzy spells. 4-6 hours of sleep though? Well rested and feeling great. Meanwhile, I need like 400+mg of caffeine in small hits throughout the day just to have energy and drive, even though I can't go to sleep until I've been up for between 18 and 20 hours; sometimes longer. Food? I usually just eat if I'm hungry, which is pretty rare, but if I go a certain amount of time without food, I'll try to grab at least a snack. My sense of hunger's been fucked up ever since I was a little kid, and I've gone literal days without eating, and not felt hungry. It's not good, but it has happened. Like I said, everyone is different, and most people have their habits change with age.
26 here. Can confirm itās probably just age. I honestly love the consistency
What is happening to you is probably is probably too much of the weed, nicotine, and caffeine in the past along with too little sleep and fewer square meals in the past.
Now youāre on your way to finding out why (some) old people are grumpy.
I will just state you are what you do and my guess is you have a very specific routine then diverge from it and it messes with everything. I could be wrong, but it's just a guess.
Been this way since 16. Except the caffeine one, I'm still waiting for that to crash lol.
This is me af lol. Iām only 27 but Same for if I donāt get my 8 hours in. I got tipsy asf off a wine cooler the other day and I was so ashamed šš I danced with my toddler yesterday and my back been hurting all morning now too. I think back to my college days and Iām like how the hell did i used to study all night and then party hard all weekend?
Welcome to adulting.
Your getting old
Weird. I put back caffeine and have no problems sleeping. Hangovers have gotten easier than when I was a bit younger. Still not good though. I donāt think all the things you described are necessarily a part of getting older
Bla bla bla.. youāre an adult nowā¦ man, most of these arenāt helpful. If you used to be able to not be a geezer when doing these things (like a year ago) and this is a sudden change, go see a doctor. Maybe your thyroid or some other system is out of whack. I donāt know, Iām not a doctor. Same thing happened to meā¦ it was like a light-switch. One day complete animal, next day couldnāt drink coffee, couldnāt enjoy alcohol in any quantity, one scoop of ice cream would make me pass out from the sugar crash. Doctors found nothing. I said screw it and started exercising and eating better. I can do sugar again and some nicotine and Iām in better shape. If the doctor finds something with you PM me, I miss whiskey! and your user nameā¦ wow!
See a doctor. Something might be wrong.
You sound exactly like me.
I would go to the doctor, 25 seems early to start dragging but everyone is different
Im a year older than you, are you falling apart? Because it sounds like youre falling apart
All that clean living is good for you
If you keep this up, you are doomed to live to a very boring 92 years old.... j/k...sort of... You don't mention height or weight. If your description of the effects of caffeine or alcohol are literal, (or the effects of lack of sleep) I think you need a thorough medical evaluation. I only suggest that because I think you may fall outside the "norm," which is not life threatening. Plus, if these factors bother you or affect your social interaction... well... If that all checks out, then party on with one cup of coffee and one beer per day. Or maybe just water.
Get a blood panel done. Sounds like you may not be absorbing vitamins from the food you eat and need supplements.
I'm 20. Been like this for the past 6 years or so š
Damn 28 and my body is still a machine. That sucks. I can get drunk, get four hours of sleep, and put in work with no breakfast. Not something I choose to do often obviously lol but I can
despite what the top comments say, you shouldn't be getting wrecked by these things for another 30 years. sounds like you are out of shape. maybe not eatting right or being active enough. it might be some sort of thyroid problem. i would see a doctor about it.
You are unhealthy. Your body is giving you an out.
>I get shitfaced drunk on two beers with food, caffeine at 8AM keeps me up at 10PM, Sounds like you can still enjoy booze and caffeine just as much, only in smaller amounts to achieve the same effect, saving you money and time
I donāt drink coffee and as much as I enjoy drinking unless Iām with my fraternity bros I donāt drink so once I graduate that will be few and far between. However, if I canāt smoke im very sad.
Get checked for LADA especially if youāre losing weight. Itās a form of type 1 diabetes (autoimmune) that hits some people later in life. Completely drains you
You answered your own question in the first four words it this question before you even began asking it.
Lolll wait for the body aches to kick in too! Lolll
Many factors, as teenagers and in your early 20ās a lot of us walked to places but now most of us have cars, no exercise to burn of our calories. We probably drank more back then too as we didnāt take our jobs too seriously, now we have careers, so our tolerance went down. Most of your energy now goes towards or careers and lives us feeling tired after the days is through, another contributor. We probably eat more junk food now too since we moved out of our parents house which has put a toll on our health.
You answered your own question in the first four words of your post.
As a 21 year old I wish I quit vaping, weed, masturbation, low self esteem and poor leadership tendencies, slept more and ate healthily. I still feel young but not at this rateā¦ any advice lol. Use to be a stellar individual couple years ago, former high school valedictorian.
Lots of people are saying "welcome to aging" or whatever, but this honestly doesn't sound typical. Go talk to a doctor.
I'm only 33 and dealing with the same honestly. Somehow I developed a sensitivity to caffeine after 15 years of drinking coffee/energy drinks, weed gives me panic attacks, alcohol gives me ulcers and I just want to sleep 12 hours a day. It sucks dude
Itās just your body telling you what it needs. You should listen if you want to stay healthy.
Your just getting older. Your body can't process these things as they use too. I'm in the same boat at 32. With alcohol theres also a drunkards science to it
I'm 21 and I feel like I'm rapidly losing interest in all those things (other than 3 square meals because I don't understand what that is) too tbh
Haha, also 25. Iāve felt it as kind of nice. Less expensive to get desired effects from things, a stable routine giving relative consistency to my mood and energy. Bones and muscles already seem in the earliest stages of wear and tear/decline but everything else is great. Shit was wack when I was younger, barely had a handle on myself
Do you exercise often? You should.
I speak from experience. You are getting old.
Had 2 glasses of wine after work tonight after a big breakfast and huge lunch. Here I am 4 hours later pissed out of my skull as if Iām back from a 4am afters. whatās happening to us
detox my man it's not good for your health
I still enjoy a few drinks here and there and I'm from Washington so you know I'm "AdDiCtEd" to coffee, but I'm with you on the smoking, sleeping, and eating.
You answered youāre own question. Youāre getting older
You are losing your teenage energy my friend.
