Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I've lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn't as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I'm fine btw. I'm just so exhausted and it's depressing seeing this shit.

Do you stretch often? I remember feeling like this in my early 20's and my friends suggested I do yoga which helped immensely. My legs will also feel terrible if I don't stretch them or place them above my head every day. Supposedly putting them above your head (like lying on your bed with your legs on the wall) will prevent varicose veins by draining the blood from them and letting them heal. Maybe it'll help a bit with already varicose veins.

Also you're getting to that age where your diet will have a larger effect on how you feel, so try to eat more vegetables or whatever your body needs. I've found that meat does not sit well with me if I eat too much of it, so try to find out what you need.

Idk there's literally nothing to eat in this country it's so depressing. The healthiest it gets here is meat rice and veggies. Good luck affording anything healthy the prices are higher than in Germany not to mention frozen food isn't even a thing so when I'm dying and can't cook (which is often lately) I have to eat some garbage instead of a healthy frozen meal

This sounds more like you have depression than problems. Meat rice and veggies are healthy and you can make them taste fantastic. What's not healthy is frozen "healthy meals".

It really sounds like you're depressed and everything that looks like a mountain is actually a mole hill.

Meat, rice and veggies is literally the definition of a (non-vegetarian) stereotypical healthy meal

From a fellow German: where are you now? Worse but more expensive food, I am guessing US?

Wtf, how is food more expensive over there?? It's been a while since I was in eastern Europe, but shouldn't basic food be way cheaper?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it should. And it was. Not anymore everything is more expensive than Germany except for the rent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Germany has really cheap food compared to the wages of most people here.
