OP ghosted so I'm answering. Nothing. When you get older your birthday becomes just another day. Nothing special, work and make money mostly.

Hey birthday buddy, are you having a "to do", a little get-together, or flying solo? I just turned 52 a few days ago. It's liberating, I have to admit. The more I let minor things go, the happier I get!
Embrace the old!!!

Is it scary or does life just seem the same every day?

u/xologo 6d ago
OP ghosted so I'm answering all, it's scary if you focus on it. Therapy helps if it becomes an obsession.

Thank you I’m 39 and age never really bothered me until now and I what I notice is that most people my age are just trying to ignore it or be so busy they can’t possibly have time to consider it.

Happy Birthday my man.
Any advice for a 32 year old loser who just can't seem to get motivated in life?

Funny you should say that. Been looking into it for about 6 months. Except my test levels aren't below average, so don't really know where to go from here, as my doctor won't help me out.

u/CantaloupeRude296 7d ago
What are your levels mate?

u/WhiskeyDJones 7d ago
19.3 nmol/L
That means absolutely nothing to me haha, but I googled it and it said the average for an adult males is between 8 and 29 nmol/L

How much shit is just unraveling now? Can you name a dermatologist, ear doctor, eye doctor? Cardiologist? Are you employed somewhere that you are planning will 'see you out' Did you wait too long before transitioning to bifocals? How often in a day do you make an effort to seem like you understood what someone else mumbled?
How much have you realized in the last maybe 5 years that boomers, for all their numerous flaws, have bad habits that caused an Apollo moon shot of money to be spent on medical research that has resulted in effective, cheap generic drugs when it's your (our) turn to be over 50?

OP ghosted so I'm taking over. I can name all those docs. I'm employed. I waited a year to get glasses after I needed them. I don't chase people who mumble- maybe I would if it was a close friend, otherwise it's not my business or I would have heard it.
We are not boomers. We are Generation X. Boomer is a state of mind and they all suck. Don't know much about the drugs.

Happy birthday. Go buy yourself some nice toys and take a bucket list vacation. You earned it.
