Hi All,

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I'm panicking about being 24. I've just turned 24, and I'm panicking about it. I feel like I'm getting "old". I know I'm not, but I'm scared my youth is running away with me and I'm becoming past my peak, so it will all be downhill from here. It's almost like I can't believe I am 24. It sounds so old. If i feel anxious now at 24, I keep thinking about how anxious I will feel when I am 25! It's like by definition I can only ever feel worse. I'm petrified.

I know it's not rational, as if it were I wouldn't be here! Please tell me someone else has felt like this and that is DOES GO.

I'm a medical student, so it isn't like my life is going nowhere, but I'm in a wheelchair and single and I think it's that which is bothering me.

Please help.
