Can you become clumsier over time?

Is it possible to start out at, let's say, 20 years and be sharp as a knife. Never forgetting things, never dropping things, always have an answer ready and can do multiple things at once. And then around 30 you suddenly drop stuff you have in your hands, you forget if you locked the door, your contactlenses have gone missing from the storagecontainer, people need to stop talking while you drive?

  • Oh ya, I'm 32 now and I'm noticing exactly this.

    Honestly, I have a lot of stress right now and my lifestyle isn't the best... So I think it's my own fault and not beause I'm getting older.

    • Thankfully I'm not alone. It really is significant. Not from one day on the other, but definetly not gradual. I hope you can reduce your stress so that it helps a bit.

      My lifestyle isn't the best.

      You mean unhealthy food and little to no exercise or worse?

        Thank you!

        You mean unhealthy food and little to no exercise or worse?

        Yes. I suffer from depression and some other diagnosed "hurdles", which make everyday life hard, because they're pretty serious. These things cause me to also suffer from insomnia, which in turn causes me not to eat and exercise well.

        I have two children and therefore a lot of responsiblity, so I'm trying hard to fix myself. But it's a long process, really. Also, because I often can't get myself to sleep at night, I stay awake and then, I have to use caffeine to stay awake during the day, etc. This is also really, really bad for concentration and body coordination.
