Fear of Aging

Is anyone else literally scared of aging? I know it's ridiculous and vain, but I'm terrified of it! Getting old is one of my biggest fears...I don't know why. It could be because everyone in my family is close to 50+. There's no real youngun's here. My cousins who are younger than me live in Wales, Italy, New Zeland, anywhere but here. I've pretty much always been surrounded by elderly people and have watched them get all crippled and helpless so I guess I'm just scared of getting like that too. At the same time I'm also afraid of losing my looks. Not that I have any but I just don't want to age in apperance. I'd be more than happy to look like a 20 year old for the rest of my life.

Can anyone else relate to these feelings or do I just need help?
