Getting old is inevitable, and there is nothing anyone can do anything about it. Everyone gets to that stage when she, or he, begins to notice a lot of unwanted changes associated with the accumulating years.
There are the physical signs, easily producing anxiety and frustration. Body pains previously ignored are noticed with acute recognition, sometimes preventing a good sleep during the night. Then the morning brings nausea and the feeling of floating or disorientation. The digestive system also reacts differently. Where attention to food option was not critical, a closer attention must now be given. The various other organs are similarly affected: labored breathing in fewer steps or less strenuous activities, slower motion in practically all movements, reduced acuity of vision or hearing, increasing forgetfulness of things usually remembered without effort, increased sensitivity to criticism or unexpected events, and so forth.
For women specifically, changes in appearance have to be urgently dealt with, be it hair color or dress size or skin sheen. Probably even more overwhelming are the mental and psychological after effects that go along with the diminishing façade that must be presented to the world.
