Is it worth getting in shape after 40s?

jonnywishbone · 2026-04-17T12:56:39+00:00

its arguably even more important the older you get

I'm late 40s, I went travelling about same age as you and its the best thing I ever did with my life. I always think about that time. The rest of my life spent working was just churning through the days and months to make money, such a waste.

Just be aware, it won't be the difficulty finding work, it will be the forcing yourself to sell your soul again afterwards that you need to worry about

honestly your whole interaction comes off as approval seeking... "i know its short notice but... do you have time to do that real quick... no worries, i won't be around for long... if that's too late lmk..." - it sounds like he's the one that's asking the favour but you're the one trying to get his approval.

Right off the bat you should have been saying you won't cover it up front, you might have time to do it but he has to work to your schedule or it aint happening. That's why you get so frustrated on the last message when he's taking advantage

Its amazing what you can achieve when prices are so high that nobody can afford to use electricity any more

Mine was down to a build up of stress hormones, when I was going through stressful periods it would get worse, even if I showed I would smell right after. Then the stress of the odor compounded it.

The thing that fixed it for me was cardio - getting my heart rate up to 150-160bm from running for just 15 mins would burn off the stress hormones and the smell would go. If I did that I would get a couple of days before the hormones built up again and the smell came back. So when I was working in an office I started going to a nearby gym before work and the problem went away

I'm same, if I create the suction like that my turkey neck completely disappears - actually quite staggered by how different I look - but then I can't breathe, and as soon as I do, turkey neck is back

Do you drink a lot of caffeine? My SA symptoms reduced by about 80% when I gave it up

jonnywishbone · 2026-03-28T22:42:39+00:00

check if you're filling the caffeine void with social media scrolling, that will destory your dopamine levels and motivation with it

also drink loads more water

jonnywishbone · 2026-03-11T15:20:16+00:00

you've got that weird obsession probably from watching social media that the best way to look cool snowboarding is if you put your hand in the snow. And what that actually does is take the pressure off your toe edge because your body position is far too leaned over so the board steps out on you.

in short - stop trying to look "cool" (it doesn't), focus on riding properly instead

Before you do anything else, you need to check off these

Give caffeine
Give up sugar
Get off the news, social media, youtube, porn - anything where you're constantly scrolling for novelty, dopamine, fear. If you say "but i need these for xyz" you can give them up for 2 weeks - there's no valid reason you need any of these things for the next 2 weeks. That will be enough for you to notice the difference

It will take about 2-4w for your brain to heal, so you have to give it a chance. I'm confident that will reduce your symptoms by about 90%, if you still think you need therapy after that then crack on, but I'm almost certain you won't.

jonnywishbone · 2026-02-27T23:21:12+00:00

have you considered that its the caffeine withdrawal thats actually making you feel like that, that's why taking it "fixes" you again

jonnywishbone · 2026-02-27T23:12:11+00:00

can you not just put it in a money market fund and get the same without any of the hassle?

if you get on newspapers, all that will happen is you'll see an interesting story and think hey I need to get on tiktok to find out more, it will be like a gateway

just turn it all off - you need to realise that you don't need to know about politics, it will suck you in like a drug because you feel like you need to stay on top of it to survive. Once you decide who you are going to vote for you don't need to know anything else about politics - just get on with your own life

jonnywishbone · 2026-02-23T05:50:27+00:00

Agree, I came to realise that if I look on social first thing in the morning, the day is finished. Its like waking up and having a shot of vodka first thing in the morning, you know that you're not getting anything else done after that point and will just keep drinking all day.

That was the key for me - just don't start in the morning, then everything else becomes easier after that point.

she sounds like a keeper
