Spanish term or phrase: Yo ya estoy grande..

I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English to Central American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well.

It's a translation of a legal deposition done to someone from "El Salvador" who experienced an accident in her job. This was done for an American attorney and a witness from this country.

This is for Latin People living in The United States and Americans. Is okay to translate it as I'm already too old?

The lady is around 71 years old.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Spanish speaking witness:

""Yo ya estoy grande para resolver estos problemas sola y tener tantos estreses como estos. Este país tiene enormes desafíos y incertidumbres""

I am too old

Explanation:
Since "I am" is the present tense, the "already" (for "ya") is implied and would sound strange in English. See example.
