Phobia of getting older

I am scared till death when I remember I am getting older day by day.I am 25(girl) and don't wanna grow up any more.I know it sounds crazy.but I can't imagine my life in 30.seems it will be THE END OF MY LIFE.
IS IT DISORDER OR ...?
maybe it is because I HAD MANY DREAMS AND GOALS AND NONE OF THEM CAME TRUE. SO IN 25 i HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING IMPORTANT.MY LIFE IS SO SAD SO don't know how to describe.that I don't wanna grow up any more.THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS YOUTH.DON'T WANNA LOOSE IT.does anyone feel this way??????????

I think everyone feels this way to some degree. Unless age is valued for the wisdom it brings.

I understand completely. I am terrified of aging. Any sign of time passing or anything like that scares the crap out of me. I don't want to get older or die.

thanks guys for posts.
I am not afraid of death.I am scared of loosing my youth.It is extreme fear.

None of us can stop time, all of us get older. The best you can do is set goals and try different things, find things you enjoy and make opportunities to keep learning.
You have to come to terms with the passing of time and focus more on setting reasonable goals and work towards these goals gradually. Try your best to find ways to enjoy your life from day to day thinking about what you CAN do. Otherwise you wont have enough energy to enjoy being 25 because your too worried about being 30 and so on.

I think its possible to strike a balance in this.

If you want (and it makes you feel better) just make sure that you take good care of yourself! I am fighting the effects of aging every step of the way. I started diligently when I was 30, and I am profoundly thankful that I put forth the effort now that I am 50.

Aging does not have to be traumatic. You're 25. Do the best you can to care for your mind and body.

I had many dreams and goals but none of it came true.there was time I understood I can't do anything.I can't change anything.don't have that ability.that's why My aging is so trauvmatic.I know it is too stupid. but I don't have anything else.only my youth.If I got what I want(just partly if not completely) before It would be natural to grow up for me I think.don't know how to live then.

I had something like that too.

But I had to convince myself that getting older was not so bad.

When you're young, you can eat nice food, go out and have a drink, go on vacation, watch good movies, dance and have fun.

And when you're older, you can still basically do the same things. So I guess getting older isn't that bad.

I think you are just faced with adjusting to new roles in life. Personally, I am happy to be more than twice your age with grandchildren to enjoy and retirement coming soon. I would not want to be young, I am having fun. Hang in there, it gets better.

I feel the exact same way. But I'm 35! UGH it sucks! But the best advice I can give you is to take care of your skin & body. It will make 30's and beyond much happier cuz you will look & feel younger. I'm terrified of being old and not being able to move around. So I do everything I can to keep in shape so my body will age the best it can.

I am NOT where I thought I'd be in life at this age either. But like the other poster said you just have to set new goals for yourself. I always thought I'd have kids by now. I just realized to not put an age on stuff like that. If it's meant to be then it will be.

I will say this... I don't feel much different now than I did 10 years ago. So 30's ain't so bad. lol :-)))

Thank you much guys for posting.
I also think caring for body and skin is very important to feel younger later.
Thanks again I really need support now.
