Its not from mid-life crisis issues .. but my life is in full reset mode. Two sons are successfully launched. The dysfunctional 31+ year marriage is ending. My job was eliminated in a restructuring leading to an early retirement. I've a house to get on the market to sell. I'll relocate a few hundred miles away, back to my roots.
This is how I'm choosing to see it rather than as a crisis ..
I think life has you in crisis mode whenever you hit what feels like it should be some sort of milestone.
You reassess your job and it's value. You reassess your lifestyle and whether you need to start taking more care of yourself, because, you know, suddenly you're 'at that age'.
Well, define what an mid-life crisis means to you.
Some take it as the end-all, be-all "Midlife Crisis", or some take it as a cluster of situational hiccups within a set amount of moments during which a solid sum (typically two decades) of reflecting takes place.
@Levenrack crisis?experiences that lead to shocking revelation of truth about life stages which may or may not lead to self destructive behavior-- which is an attempt to cope
