I hate to admit this, but I think my body is starting to feel its age. Nearing 50, I feel much different than I did even three years ago. I can’t figure out if this is solely an age thing, or if Covid was a big factor. I just find myself getting more sore with random pains and I don’t have the physical stamina that I used to. Anyone else relate? My daily physical activity was a lot higher before Covid.

I feel this and am just approaching 40. I def need to fire up my peloton membership in 2023 to get some more exercise and raise my energy levels!

That is what I’ve been trying to do too with my workouts!

I started feeling this way before Covid and then got worse. 53 now and working out has been a big help

I have always been a regular exerciser and really have been focused on it for the last 18 months, but I doesn’t seem to help. I did put on weight during Covid and that probably isn’t helping.

I believe Covid has really affected me. I’m also 53, and energy level dropped like a rock a couple of years ago. Some of it is probably hormonal, but I’ve really noticed so many people complaining of fatigue and depression. I don’t think it’s just post lockdown blues.

If anything I would have thought lockdown would have been good for a lot of people’s health

It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Got an offer at a great company. Ive done this job before but moved away from it because it burnt me out because of the people and it scarred me. I have found out i have ptsd from it and am scared to start the new one. Been working on ptsd thru therapy. I know its a great firm and a great opportunity but my ptsd is bad. Another company last wk reached out same field diff role more chill and behind the scenes and i cant help but think about the easy way out over the challenge and better future.
