I've struggled with this issue of disappointment and regret. It has helped me to acknowledge my vulnerability and work toward being at peace with all of the good things I wanted and the bad things that came my way so that I can appreciate the chance to exist, to be alive, to feel the pain and joy, and love and the daily rebirth of each morning. It is a long life. Our sorrows are real. The seasons change and if we look for it we will see the beauty in it harshest realities. I hope you have a community, which also helps. Stay strong and be that desert rose that blooms in trying times.

I'm 35 and I'm having a very hard time this year. I have 3 kids and realize my life's pretty much set now. I feel like nobody truly likes me for me. I question everyone's motives including my wife's. I'm looking into every little thing to much. I have a extreme fear of death as well. So much so it dominates my thoughts past 8pm till I go to sleep. I'm lost right now. Feel like I want to fight everyone for no reason to prove something to myself. I even went out and bought a new Camaro and Truck and a house. Trying to find some help. But I don't wanna ask for help or look weak to my wife. Idk what to do.

Mine was more expensive than a Porche. I used a 1/3 of my retirement to pay off all debt, move to another country, and revamp my lifestyle towards minimalism. My husband has somehow stuck through it all with me and should be joining me in our new country soon. My triggers were severe, chronic stress, related to overwork, poor diet, lack of exercise and deep debt, which is so common to the American lifestyle. Most people thought I was going crazy, and in some ways they were right. But had I stayed in the US, with the current social and political climate, I WOULD have killed myself. I am much better now and am looking forward to what the next chapter in our life brings. (After all this COVID crap is over).

@@elizabethwilson4698 Hi Elizabeth. I was originally from the Czech Republic, so I ended up getting my Czech passport, getting into the UK prior to Brexit, and now I have pre-settled status in the UK as an EU citizen. I love living in Northeast England. People are super nice, stoic, have a great sense of humour, and are mostly non-religious (a huge plus as far as I am concerned). Walking in some of the most gorgeous nature I have ever seen is part of the culture, as is gardening (both great loves of mine). My husband thinks I am just a tiny bit obsessed with sheep and their lambs. Between spring lambs and flowers, I can be a bit of a hazard on the road, because I have a hard time keeping my eyes ON the road, haha. There are sheep, cows, horses, and dogs EVERYWHERE. The stunning historic sites are another bonus. Did I say I am in love with England? ; )

I joined KZread because it is a great way to get information out, to anywhere in the world with internet, vinodztube. So glad you found us.

It happens to all of us. I’m 50 yr Old and went through much of it in my 40s. The light at the end of the tunnel is as such.. at first the regrets set in. Later, you learn how to manage those feelings of regret and somehow come to an “acceptance” of “this is how things turned out, and it’s meant to be this way”... When things begin to turn around and really get better is when you transition out of the “acceptance” phase and into a phase of “embracement” - where you now have learned to truly “embrace” all that has been given to you or not given to you and you begin to find ways to live a life that uses and make the best of what circumstances were handled to you. I know it sounds cliche but moving into this phase has helped me tremendously. For me, it was being single at 40, never married, no children, etc. I eventually came to the mindset that I was going to wake up every day appreciating my time given to improve myself and make the best body - physically, emotionally and mentally for myself. Nowadays, I’m at a point in life where I wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s ultimately the best position to be in. I also found it helpful for me to volunteer at a senior living facility, and a homeless shelter. You’ll find it helps to take your mind off of your issues by helping others cope with theirs.

Its been more than a year since I accomplished my biggest life goal, sat down with myself and said "Is that it?" So much of what you said resonated with me, but the only way I have found that I can now feel alive is by fantasizing about my new life, built atop the shreds of my old one. I am just dying to burn it all down. I know that divorcing my wife and moving to another city would imply that I would end up mostly being lonely. However, I cannot also be in limbo foreover waiting for the crisis to end. I fear I am about to have a major blowup and there is nothing I can do about it. After a decade of hardwork and accomplishing my biggest life goal, its strange to find myself in such a deep depression and so thoroughly confused. I was expecting a red carpet and fulfillment.

Black Knight, interesting how success doesn't always bring happiness. However, happiness (gratitude for what you currently have) will always bring success, though the outside world may not see it. I frequently tell my clients that I will get behind their upgrade all day long, once they realize they don't need it. I'm going to make a few suggestions, and you can take or leave them: Watch "How Gratitude Can Change Your Life" - kzread.info/dash/bejne/nH94sc5xl8LFoNo.html Browse through the Positive Personal Development playlist and see if there is anything that sounds interesting to you: kzread.info/head/PLq2mRDkHEBPCYtqYUCuzsyYpAlzKZDVVV Consider taking advantage of our free 25 minute call with a Live On Purpose coach.

Black knight, I feel the same way. I need a total reboot. I've been sad /depressed for a while. I'm 55 and the mortality and questioning everything is driving me crazy.

I’m only 35. Why does these things happen to me?? I don’t know what I want anymore in life. I feel frustrated that I haven’t experienced & achieved much at this point in my life. Then 3 yrs ago, I was diagnosed with a rare blood disease despite living a healthy & active lifestyle which limited my activities & changed my outlook in life. But I’m at my breaking point now. I want a big change in my life.

Agent, try my positivity power-up course. It could change your outlook and open up some doors for you.

Im 23, my wife is military and we have an 18 month old son. Moved 3200 miles away from our families. I feel like im going through this because I do not have a stable career. The more I look at my son the older he gets, and I feel the pressure of being a father and showing him that I have a career. I work at a grocery store full time and have been for over 3 years now, but I am looking towards starting school or a skillful trade. Woke up at 2 am sitting upright with intrusive thoughts about being someone who just 'gets by.' I am willing to apply myself to something, but im unsure how to begin!

PJ Hill, You are young, try something that sounds interesting to you and see where it takes you. If you are supporting your family and being there for your wife and mother, you are doing what you need to do.

I am so surprised there are not more views on this. I am 55 and going through a bit of mid life crisis “again”. My first one was at 40. The mention of the use of drugs and alcohol is profound as I actually have been drinking more to adjust and numb myself. Very straightforward suggestions Thanks!!

I am 36 and not married and wished I am. The sad side is that I am dating someone who just hit 41 and going tru midlife crisis and I am left wondering what’s waiting for me down the road. I suggested we break up and take a rest but he is so scared that he will regret losing me if he pursue his desire. But he is also unable to give himself fully and he knows that. I feel like stuck…

He could be going through something like this. Nurture your relationship and don't get in the middle of your parent's relationship. That is something they need to work on,

Thank you for this video. When I was venting to my friend, he told me I may be having a quarter life crisis. This video has helped me so much. I think my depression from family violence that caused my disability that made me take breaks from university really hit me hard. Then going to the women's shelter to escape violence. Returning when the violent person moves out of the family. Then a different member of the family becomes just as violent and breaks my trust. Covid keeping me and my partner seperated due to border closure for 1.5years. Then my best friend's drowning that happened and my fiance becoming toxic to me so I needed to end the relationship within the same week. Im glad I am coming back to my faith and found a new hobby. I am actively trying to be more social friendship wise in christian groups and date. Sometimes guys in dating are so mean and the older women in christian groups are also so mean right now. I feel very at my end. Maybe when my depression started I didn't think I'd love this long so maybe that's why the coming closer to 25 next year is scaring me. I think I'm too self blaming and hard on myself wanting myself to bounce back faster or to my expectations. Also being the motherly figure for my family parents and friends is what I usually am so when I can't perform I feel bad that I can't solve their stuff either. Its been a few years of this sort of thing. I need to do something idk what. I enjoy watching these calming videos about being kind and caring and solution based towards yourself. I rather the natural way and life style changes in stead of medication that has worse side effects or self medicating as you said "please don't start those addictions". Please pray for me. If anyone had advice with kindness please let me know. I am way too mean to myself.

You are at a stage in life where you are expected to make lots of decisions about your "future." It can feel daunting.

I started watching this because my husband(33) said he was going through a midlife crisis and I wanted to see what I/we can do to help him, but now I’m freaking out because I feel like my life has been a waste. I’ve felt this way since my teens. That I have not done enough with my life, I have not experienced enough things or achieved really anything.. I’m 26 so I still have a good bit of time to do stuff, but my inner voice is screaming, “YOU GOTTA GET STUFF DONE RIGHT NOW!!!” It’s been screaming since my teens so I guess I really need to listen.
