I feel old. How can I describe this state without saying "old"--because that's not altogether accurate. How about, I feel older. I am swooning over a 20-yr-old, I have to sleep at least 6 hours to be conscious... well, OK, I can't think of anything else. Those are the basic symptoms. The first one isn't really a symptom of my being older (god knows it has happened before) but when I phrase it "I am crushing on a man who is 14 years younger than I am" then it sort of sounds worse, don't You think?
