Quarter Life Crisis.. I know it may seem silly, but I'm turning 24 this weekend and for some reason i feel ANCIENT!! i know im gonna hear "well if ur ancient then i don't know what that makes me!" i've heard it from my 40 and 30 something year old sisters who think i am out of mind. I was just wondering if anyone else felt this way when approaching this age.. I feel almost depressed about it! I feel as though by now i should be well into a great career, married, kids, a few more yorkies.. that kind of thing. Anyone else feel/felt this way??? :confused: :confused: |
I know EXACTLY where you are coming from! I will be 24 in 10 days and i'm in the same boat. I thought I'd have kids, career, house, hubby, and 2 dogs by now. Wel I have the two dogs but thats it! I won't finish college til May, I haven't had a boyfriend in almost a year and a half, I still live at home with my mom, and the only kids I have are the kiddos I babysit for. |
Well first off...Happy Birthday!!! Second, I too have issues with getting older, even though I am still young at 28, my issue is that when I get older so is everyone else around me, and it saddens me. But do not worry about the marriage, kids, career...it will all fall into place!! Have a wonderful weekend! |

I know how you feel, when i turned 24 at midnight i cried now I'm 25 but for some odd reason i dont feel as bad about being 25 as i did 24 i think b/c i did a lot of growing up in that year and so will you and you will realise you are going to be young for a very long time. I remember thinking 30 was so old but now i dont dread it b/c it is young and think of how many people never get to see their 30 b-day.. Also during your mid - late 20 I think life just gets better, you are done with college, starting your career, and you are a lot smarter at least i am, I would never do some of the things i did at 22 and I'm glad i grew up a bit and i dont want to be 20-23 ever again, a lot of bad choices and that is the age where you start to figure out who you really are and really start living your life:D |

I do wonder if 'the one' is out there and sometimes I feel a slight desperation that the window of 'child opportunity' will close before I meet 'the one' ... but I guess mainly i feel that things will fall into place! :) its never easy getting older!! |
I turned 24 in Sept and I know Just how you feel. It was actually traumatic for me :( |
Been there done that ;) When I turned 25 I was seriously in a funk that I never thought I'd get out of it but you know what? I did and I'm ok. I'll be 32 this month and am long past thinking I'd have a family by now, it's no longer a necessity (how sad is that?). I read a book that I think was actually called quarter life crisis and it was really good. If I can think of the actual name I'll let you know. Happy Birthday :p |
