I had this feeling a lot during my most recent depression. (I'm 59) I think part of it was due to depression and part of it is just a natural part of the aging process. Our bodies and minds just don't work as well as they did when we were younger, and that's hard to take sometimes. It doesn't help that we live in a society which makes a fetish out of youth and wants older people out of sight and out of mind. Anyway now that I'm feeling better I'm reminding myself that I've been given a second chance. If I didn't play the game well before I refuse to play it at all now. It's not my job to make other people happy. It is my job to make the most of whatever time I have left.
