The theme of the midlife crisis is an eternal one. Probably because almost all people go through it. Many do not realize that it is he, but they feel it for sure. How can you understand what has “covered” you with it? Each person experiences a crisis differently. But there are still general trends. Imagine that you are 38-42 years old (relative framework). You are an accomplished woman who has everything. There is a family, children, a stable job, a good company of friends. But at some point, success at work stops making you happy, and you want to quit abruptly. During this period, you can radically change the scope of your professional activity. We were a lawyer, but became a hairdresser. Friends are annoying with their behavior and habits. This is explained by the fact that friends were acquired in youth, and now you no longer have anything in common with them, and friendship is out of habit. You want to divorce your husband, because it seems that he is somehow different. I would like to find a wealthier person who can provide you with the basis for fulfilling your needs. At the same time, providing oneself with a sense of some kind of social stability. The children have grown up and you have free time, but it’s not clear what to do with it. The search for new hobbies begins. You can start skydiving or become interested in diving. Most likely, the hobby will be one that will make you feel strong and young. This is the age when tangible health problems may appear. Running around to doctors begins, medication intake becomes stable. For the first time you think about sanatoriums, and this idea no longer seems stupid as it did 10 years ago. When you start to pay attention in the mirror to the signs of aging (wrinkles, gray hair, decreased skin elasticity). If earlier physical fitness was achieved without much difficulty and diets, now you understand that it’s time to run to the gym and limit yourself in food in order to look at least at the same level as before. The style of clothing and hairstyle is changing dramatically to that of youth. You start having fun like young people. Habits and tastes change. All this happens because I want to prolong the feeling of my youth, because... Accepting aging is painful and difficult to come to terms with. If you were active before, now laziness and apathy may appear. The mood changes abruptly for no particular reason. Energy is suddenly replaced by a loss of strength. For the first time, you seriously think that most of your life has already been lived. And there is not much time ahead of the heavenly office, and there is still so much left to do. Against this background, depression may develop. Be attentive to your condition and seek help if you feel it, because... at this age the number of suicides still increases significantly. You may even get the idea of ​​going to a warm country and living there without thinking about anything. Do yoga, for example. In other words, the desire to radically change your life is about a crisis. Comparing your achievements with the dreams of your youth and some kind of summing up is also about a crisis. What to do if you find a number of such signs in yourself? The best outcome would be to admit that youth is leaving, and this is inevitable. Come to terms with this fact and think about what The next stage of life has advantages. Set achievable goals for the near future and outline prospects for future life. We are sure to search for new meanings and guidelines, because the old ones no longer work. Understand that you are not alone in this crisis. Millions of people go through this state. If you don’t understand what to do, where and how to move, feel free to seek help from specialists. Thank you for your attention to my work.
