Old age is good as long as you are healthy and independent . Once you have health problems in old age you lose confidence and get negative thoughts All these years I was very active and though I had health problems I could overcome In 1991 I had hip bone fracture and was in bed for two months but I did not lose hope Because I was young that time.I had other health problems but I could face it Now since the New year started my health condition is not good I am losing hope I feel I have no.strength I am being taken good care but I feel I am dependent on others. I have been independent I know this too will pass
You have echoed what almost all seniors feel as they get on in age. Health issues and weakness etc are a part and parcel of life , and arise more frequently as we get old. However, as you have put it yourself we can just look to the bright side of things, and go along. Best wishes for you to be back to your active self.
Take care, and thank the Almighty when you get up from the bed in the morning, which I am sure you must be doing.
I think apart from physical problems these negative thoughts also take over with age..And once we take care of the mental health physical problems will not be that bothersome...take care..
