Anyone going through one? Anyone gone through one?

I think I'm developing one...for the past week, I've had this growing unease and general feeling of dissatisfaction.

I'm usually a very positive, very happy guy but lately I just feel disapointed, although I don't have any particular reason to be.

I'm 28 now but I was down a couple of years ago and just didn't think things were going my way.. I can't put a finger on how things changed but I got outta my slump by trying to stay positive and be stubborn not to get down..

Funny thing is, on paper, my life is great. I feel a general sense of disappointment, but I also feel stupid and kind of selfish, because I also know that for a 25 year old, I'm doing extremely well. My relationship with my gf is great, my financial situation is great, my career is great, my health is as good as it could be all things considered...but I just feel kind of let down and disappointed but I can't put my finger on it.

Erm, sorry to disappoint you but that isn't really a 1/4 life crisis, but a 1/3 life one. Sucks to be you.

I went through something like this, took me years to realise that I hated the job I was in and career path I was on, regardless of the money it was bringing in.

I ditched the whole career path I was on, and took up one of my hobbies as my full-time job, working for myself, and have never been happier and felt as fulfilled as I do now.

I'll never earn the kind of money I used to, but a supportive partner makes that immaterial, what I've gained as far as self-respect, self-achievement and self-determination is worth an infinite amount more to me than any paycheck.

I'm not saying follow-my-lead-to-happiness of course, my situation was pretty much *my* thing at the time, but I'd definitely consider looking at the areas of your life you think you are 'content' with and ask yourself if content is enough, I mean why be content when you can aim for more?

Actually, as a type 1 diabetic, it's probably closer to a 1/2 life crisis! But I try not to dwell on the negative.

You could say I'm going, or have been going through a quarter life crisis (I'll be 24 next week), but I'd say my situation is rather unique in the extent of my life's emptiness, my lack of any sort of ambitions or goals or direction, and being extremely unhappy with where I am in my life now. But hey, I recently discovered weed and really liked it, so that's something new to turn to!...

I'm definetly going through one. I've been out of college for over a year now and I've got shit to show for it, aside from debt. I just ended a three year relationship, and I've had some pretty serious medical problems for the past year. The one thing that really keeps me going is that I have a lot great friends. I just need the greatness of my social life to spill over into my professional and personal life, and I'll be set.

I have a full scholarship to university, a 35 grand car, just finished a full time summer job and made tons of money, I was valedictorian a few months ago, awesome girlfriend... and yet I feel like running away. I need a change in location :lol.

I kinda went through that whole thing at twenty four yet was able to realize that life is all about happiness and we are all able to achieve such a thing no matter where we live. Who ho go me! Seriously, you will find it!
