Midlife crisis at 30 for a woman: how to recognize and benefit from it

If your age is reaching 30, and you suddenly begin to doubt yourself and the relationships you are in, to be afraid that you will never succeed in life — you probably have symptoms of a midlife crisis.

The same as in the case of a forty-year-old crisis, the “trigger” for 30-year-olds is a completely false assumption that by a certain age you need to understand everything about yourself. It seems that life has deviated from the correct path or doesn’t meet your expectations. In order to calmly say to yourself: “I have come where I should be”, we must first learn how to recognize and benefit from the crisis.

Here are few obvious symptoms.

Lying about your age

Most women are not afraid to celebrate their birthdays widely before the age of 25. If you began to downgrade your age, you probably have been overtaken by the 30-year-old crisis.

Feel like a failure

If, as you approach the 30th anniversary, you have the feeling that you are late on all counts (especially if you are comparing yourself with your own mother at the same age), it is useless to be nervous in this regard and to torment yourself. You just need to understand what do you really want to get from life and how to achieve this.

For some women, past achievements, personal or professional, after some time may seem not so important. Be careful and keep in mind that regretting what is not done is also one of the symptoms of a crisis.

Continuously compare yourself with other people of the same age

It has been scientifically proven that Facebook enhances the feeling of envy and loneliness. You could start feeling bitterly that your life is not up to par, browsing the personal pages of your friends.

Many successful women can suffer from the so-called “impostor syndrome”: you feel that everything in your life is not done by you, and you are not confident in your own abilities, only skillfully pretend and show off, despite the fact that you have fulfilled your ambitions and reached some goals.

If you completely stopped communicating with friends and repeatedly refuse invitations to meet up, go to the cinema or a cafe, then you probably need some more time to deal with the crisis.
