Is it normal to feel like i've lived too long?

I'm only 23 but sometimes I feel like I've lived longer than I should have. I don't take drugs and while I do have a history of depression I'm not currently suffering it nor am I suicidal.

I've had a bit of a rough time over the years regarding health of both the physical and mental variety. Could that possibly be contributing to the feeling of having lived too long and is it normal to feel this way?

    I know how you feel. I've met a couple people like that too. You go through enough and sometimes you really wonder how you are still standing. For me, sometimes I think its because I've wandered down the wrong path. But that's me.

    I like to eat cheese. Jeff says my toes look like rasberries. He is so out of it I laugh too hard. For him. Actually tomatoe is the right answer.

      Huh? Why worry about makimg other people happy-- it'll never happen, prissy-pants, mother saintly. It's all about the self. Christ even said so.

          About 30 seconds before he took his last breath. (If you believe the fairytale.)

    I've felt like that for a long time.
    I think the main reason is the near-death experience I had when I was about seven years old.
    But also, I've always felt like time moves incredibly slow.
    Each year seems like at least two to me, so I already feel like I'm almost a senior citizen, even though I'm only 26.
