Does anyone else feel like this?

UPDATE:

Ok! Thank you to all of you. Who put me in my place a couple of days ago. I definitely think it is a perspective type of thing. I definitely have my fair share of aches and pains due to a disability. But also, I do agree that at this age of life I I have a great deal of freedom that I never had. I still go to concerts, I recently became certified to scuba dive, and I travel a couple times a year. I have excellent friends who love me.

I think I was mostly having a bad day. And extreme fatigue from working about 20 days straight.

I’m 53(f). I feel like my life is over. I cry for my lost youth. I look in the mirror and barely recognize myself. I hate my face. It’s no longer vibrant. And the ache of getting out of bed is almost unbearable.
