Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

I have not been at my sunniest lately and whilst there is nothing in particular wrong, I am not a happy bunny!

Then it occurred to me that I might be having a mid-life crisis?

Pull yourself together woman!!!!! Mid life crises indeed!
It's your hormones playing up, have some more vitamins and buck your ideas up. Other people are counting on you!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Ok, that works for me!

Is it anything that a little pampering wouldn't cure?

Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis? I guess it depends how long you plan living?


Would alcohol help?

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Well, I think that may be the issue - my life is a wee bit soft at the moment, I would like to be more useful!

Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?

Hell, no! I'm on my third! :thumbup:

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Not really as I have to go off and fetch OH from airport later...

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Hello!

Have you really been doing what you do now since you were 25? Hijacks own thread....

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

How old were you when you had the previous 2?

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

If the unhappy feeling drags on,go see your GP for check up
and get the blood work done.Take care.

Ta.....but it's def all in my head!

But I have to ask, what would they find in your blood that causes one to be miserable?

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

I'm pretty sure I had one when I was 36. In fact it was the year prior to the move to Canada which probably wasn't a complete coincidence! I was going to go to the doctor and get ultra-strong antidepressants but my wife wouldn't let me in case it messed everythign up with the immigration medical and we didn't get in!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

No. I use to design websites. I charged a fortune and people were willing to pay. ;) That was a looong tme ago. I got forced into trading stock a couple of years before the dot.com crash.

It's not useful! Well, yes it funds my habits with minimal time and effort expended but it's utterly purposeless and alienating beyond that.

Low thyroid function ,anaemia and physical problems-ie Heart,and the vital organs .

25, 32 :lol: They were mini-ones! Practice for the big doozie that hit a couple of years ago... I just hope that one wasn't practice for something around the corner! :huh:

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Thyroid hormones.

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Thanks for telling me!

No, my blood is ok - I just need to find more purpose in my life!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Get out your punching bag Beebop and "go have an adventure." ;)

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

It's not that easy....or perhaps I'm not brave enough!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Come help me unpack! :lol:

I'm thinking of volunteering for the local 'Habitat for Humanity' - though I need to research them a bit more and getting back involved with a couple of environment orgs I use to volunteer with before I left.

What turns your crank?

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind! Nice bit of sea air and some good company!

I think I'm dragged in lots of different directions and can't get on with things due to waiting to see what happens with my various projects.

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Ok blood work and physical fine.Next is the Ozzie clinical psych.module to rule
out depression.

Hey, that looks an interesting organisation - suit my skillbase!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

no , there is no age for depression Beebop. Are you feeling helpless or /and hopeless? have you noticed changes in weight? either loss or gain? have your sleeping habits changed? are you finding yourself crying a lot? go and see your MD and tell him how you are feeling. You dont have to suffer . There are many ways that you can be helped. Antidepressants typically take 1 month to kick into your system so dont wait for too long.

i think YOONG would know more than me. She specializes in mental health nursing if i remember correctly.

Hope i was of some help.

I am feeling much better - thanks to everyone! :D

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?

god knows i work with some WONDERFUL female doctors.... :thumbsup:

Should i have said `it`:p

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

:thumbsup:

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

for all the wonderful doctors in the world, including my niece who is heading into her 3rd year of medical school.

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Course not - we are women! We can have one as often as; and whenever we like! ;) :lol:

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

One of them was most likely mine. :p

I'm 60 and I haven't had one yet. ;)

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

No, it's bang on the money if you're going to croak at 70.

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Just after I passed 40 I had finished my OU degree and was feeling very low.

I took two weeks off, got on my bike and rode down through France, from Calais to the Med. I raised £10K for Cancer Research.

It gave me time to think. As it was October (it rained and blew gale force winds 7 out of 10 days) the ride was 'character-building'.:ohmy:

Since then I have ridden more miles than in the rest of my life and I love it. My OH encourages me (probably to get me out of the house) and now rides with me.

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

I wish I had time for a mid-life crisis :eek: Keep yourself busy :)

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Perhaps its the stress of all this immigration crap me dear.;)

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Hey, nice to see you pop in!

How are you?

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

Exactly, I feel very self-indulgent!

I am very busy but it's all mental stuff, lot of plate spinning! And a wee bit too much time on my own this week. I should get out on my bike, the only problem with being miserable is that it is a real effort to do anything and then I only feel worse when my self-motivation fails!

I have to say the immigration stuff doesn't worry me too much as it is all too distant!

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

There comes a time when we all take stock of our lives and wonder what on earth we are doing and how can we make it more fulfulling - that to me is mid-life crisis time. Wasn't far off that age when we decided to emigrate :p (Mmmm, wonders how many people actually do decide to emigrate during their M.L.C. :confused::blink::eek:)

HWP - note that your crisis came 7 years apart. I believe there is a 7-year cycle. It's the stereotypical '7-year itch' whether it's relationships, housing or job.

A friend of mine's is so fed up with her house (which is lovely BTW) thats she is desperate to move. I found out that they have lived there for 14 years so I told her it's no wonder she's desperate as she has 2 x 7-year itches to scratch :p

Re: Is 35 too young for a mid-life crisis?
 

I'm great thanks (great thread - given me some food for thought).

This will sound really bad (but hey, I am old ;) ), but I don't remember your name/who you are. Have you changed it, or have I just lost more brain cells to dementia?? :lol:
