worried about getting old

anyone else worried about getting old, wrinkly and unable to move around properly...ie after 70?

tbh im scared of getting old/sick and dying...i know it happens to everyone but it seems ridiculous after working so hard to achieve success etc etc for it all to be taken away from you

hope im not a wierdo for bringing this up :s-smilie:

Well, you're not 70 yet, so don't worry about it. Anyway, not all old people are rickety and unhappy. Many of them are still smiling and get on with things just like us.

most people fear dying it natural, everybody is gonna age so you might as well make the most of your working joints and being able to move, run and jump. Make the most of what you have, not everybody lives to over 70 some people die pretty young because of accidents out of their control.

Yes, deeply worried. Adult nappies, zimmer frames and being smacked about in some crappy care home. No thanks. That's why I started smoking 35 cigarettes a day- it's like death insurance so I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I won't have to experience old age.
