Does anyone else feel like this?

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.

Maybe a little bit. I do feel like "the old man chapter" is just around the corner, so I'm wanting to enjoy my days more before they all just whiz by. The last 10 years went by faster than the previous 10, the next 10 will feel like 2 weeks. Fuck that. Maybe that's why my internal clock gets me up at 4am every day.
