From the Department of Communications:
Mr Mannion reports that he is very tired of getting old. Fortunately, he’s been assured this is a condition that clears itself up over time. He just has to be patient and wait it out.

There's this death joke in Through the Looking Glass
'Seven years and six months!' Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully. 'An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you'd asked MY advice, I'd have said "Leave off at seven"--but it's too late now.'
'I never ask advice about growing,' Alice said indignantly.
'Too proud?' the other inquired.
Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. 'I mean,' she said, 'that one can't help growing older.'
'ONE can't, perhaps,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'but TWO can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.'

My doctor refers to "self-limiting" conditions; i.e., bacteria, viruses and other malady's that have the virility to go only so far, and then just go away.
This condition is definitely self-limiting.
