Aging sucks

I hate aging, and I am only a 39 year old man!
I have gray hairs appearing everywhere on my head now, which I try to pluck or dye. A couple of my moles are getting larger (I checked them out; they are benign, but the doctor laughed and said "you're not 18 anymore".
My butt is getting less firm and I am putting on weight easier on my abdomen - which means I am more self-conscious in a swimsuit. My joints ache sometimes. I have problems digesting certain foods now, like milk. I feel like I am beginning to lose my looks.
I can't identify with 18 year olds like I used to, or party until dawn three days a week.
My orgasms are less pleasurable than they were when I was 20, and I can't shoot my load as far anymore. I find certain 50 year old women hot, and most 20 year old women seem too young. I want kids, but I feel like I'm getting too old to start a family.
I feel my time is running out to make my mark in the world, but I also worry that no one will remember I was ever alive when I pass on. I no longer feel like I will live forever, but I don't want to live forever either.
I feel that life is more precious now that my life is half over. I wonder about the reason I am still alive and so many of my friends and loved ones are no longer here.
I want to move and start a new life, but I'm scared of change.
Worst of all, I feel the need to complain about getting older on websites like this one! Is this normal?

    you need to get your hormones up by eating fish oysters and exercising if yo joints ache you might be allergic to somethin simple as wheat or any food.. but by aching joints and low sex drive and looking older, you have low oil and hormones.. you could try melaonin and fish oil... like real fish is better then pills.. and simple metals like magnesium and less salt, and more acids and limit protiens :D ty imma guineess

    I'm only 18, but I feel like... I'm not ready to be an adult yet. I just want to be 5 years old again and play in the kindergarden :(

    I know how you feel... well on just about everything you mentioned. Sadly, I am "only" 27, but I feel much older now than I did 10 years ago. I really HATE getting older! :(
