I’m really curious about healthy aging. I, myself, have been diagnosed with PTSD and am in a field that constantly triggers me (veterinary medicine).
Over many years of therapy I have been able to develop better coping strategies that has aided in my success. However, I do worry about the stress itself and how it affects my aging.
As an already optimist, how can leveraging my optimism more help improve aging?
Secondly, how DOES stress affect aging?
I’ve always worried my adrenal glands would give out and cause a myriad of hormonal and neurological issues in the future (I see a LOT of vet med professionals kill themselves or have to retire due to their bodies giving out).
