This morning i woke up at 7am in a mini panic about being 27 this year by the sudden reality that it is three years till im 30.

I think this was brought back on due to fear of living at home as i moved back last september hanging my head at my parents and feeling slightly ashamed but thankfull i have that support network.

Any one have them silly moements?

I am a drama queen so I thrive in drama and panic. I don't panic about my age but you should panic about yours, Christ nearly 30! You'll be dead soon.

I had a huge panic the other day that by the time this happens:

I will be 40. Was then told to shut up by most of colleagues who are already 40, and thus will be approaching 60. Made me feel a lot better  ;D

What makes us afraid of reaching a certain age? Live your life fully, and the fear disappears.

Indeed. Save the worrying for real problems - like the financial crisis and making ends meet for example.

It's only natural to think about growing older.  Now that I'm approaching 40, I'm more aware of time limits and living life to the full and taking advantage of that.

30 is *awesome*. So is 31. You couldn't pay me enough to be back in my 20s again (unless it was a knowing-what-you-know-now scenario lol). Don't dread it... look forward to it!

I've always looked forward to turning 30, and it was in part realising that I was hurtling towards it and that my life wasn't what I wanted it to be, that caused me to shake everything up and start over. Now I'm chronically ill and I don't know what the future is going to hold, I don't care about turning 30, I just hope that by then I'll be a bit more sorted and feel better about the future than I do now.

All the above is very true and plays a part in my small mini panic, the whole independence of not havin my own place and being able to walk around in nothin but my birthday suit and jam to my records got me, and having company when i wanted for scoial reasons and stuff.

Im ajusting to a sudden decrease in freedom.

Parents have a horrid way wether they admit or not of still drum rollin i am your mother do as i tell you.

Well maybe my mother god love her she still trys to ring my work or if thats not good enough i get the prep talk of "now you go in and you tell them your mum said"

A lot of my friends and people I went to university with went on to travel and study further and I felt a lot like they were moving somewhere and I wasn't... Many of my other friends have settled in to relationships and/or had kids, a car, some kind of accommodation to themselves ect...

I'm 28 and I haven't dated much, nor have I travelled a lot. I used to think I'd missed out on a lot of life, as all I did was work work work and pay off debts...

In retrospect, I think it came down to (most of) their families having more money than mine... Or the fact they've got different priorities, or made different decisions... Meeting older women, who still go on and backpack, study, or live how I one day aspire to live makes me feel like it's never too late.

Next year, I'm hoping to leave the UK and settle elsewhere.

I am 44. Which is too young to be old and too old to be young. Finding it hard.
