Has anyone else noticed their energy levels change as they've got older?

Is anybody surprised?
Of course our energy levels aren’t what they were.
It’s called ageing and every organism does it.

Yes, MawRosie, we all know it, and we know it’s called aging, but that does not mean that it is easy to accept. Our bodies slow down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean our minds do and our minds tell us we can do this, that and the other, but our aging bodies don’t let us! So, no, our energy levels are not what they once were, but that doesn’t make it any easier - It’s the frustration at not being able to do what we once did without a thought that is so difficult - as I’m sure you will agree (or are you superwoman 🤣).

“*ageing*”, sorry - spelling mistake on my part - oops 🤣

With various health conditions I have to accept that I can’t do as much as I used to be able to do, but it’s sooo frustrating!

I also have a recently diagnosed, underactive thyroid, and thought that the dose isn’t yet right, hence still lacking energy. It worries me, from reading other poster’s comments, that this might be my new normal.

Our bodies slow down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean our minds do

Yes. I just wish I could keep up with myself.

I’m sorry if it offends anyone, but I agree with MawsRosie. It’s obviously natural that our energy levels decrease as we get older. I’m fortunate that I’m still very active, but not as much these days.

I seem to keep as busy as ever, perhaps I was actually busy?

edit -- perhaps I was NEVER actually busy.
