A Typical Female Midlife Crisis

By Tracie Knight


There may be a time in your life when you are feeling different in one way or another. You could find that this is a female midlife crisis, and this is not uncommon because it is something that everyone goes through. Men go through with this as well, but it happens later in their lives when they are in their fifties, and they tend to go back to their youth.

One first used to think that this was the change from a mother to becoming free and discovering yourself. However, this has changed into doing something different, depending on the person. Some people go into a different career at this point in time. Some people splash out and buy a new car or opt for botox.

Not everyone needs therapy because it won't be severe for everyone. Some women don't have this crisis at all, so you have to keep this in mind. Some women will just spend some money on a luxury item and this may be good for them at the end of the day. Of course, they may regret it, but it is just par for the course.

However, this aspect of self discovery can get out of hand and that is where one must keep your feet on the ground. Sometimes you will need the help of a therapist to help you do that. Sometimes this will happen when women are young, and it needs to be managed so that they can get on with their lives and so that it does not affect anyone around them.

A lot of this comes down to the human needs and this is a big part of life. Sometimes you may have reached the top and there is nowhere further that you can go. You may just want to experience what life is like on the other side. You may just want to see what this is like for a little while, and this is not a bad thing because there will be less stress and anxiety.

For women who are career focused, it may be a time just to put everything on hold and rediscover who they are. However, this is difficult to do on your own. If you are career women, then the chances are that you have fewer friends that you can talk to, and you do need someone that you can lean towards for guidance.

There are special coaches in situations like these who can guide you in the right direction. It is easy during this particular kind of crisis, just to do your own thing and to follow your impulses after your heart, however, you can land up in some trouble. It is important to talk to someone about how you are feeling on a regular basis.

Keep on asking yourself questions as you move along with the process and to make sure that you are going in the right direction. The point is that you are trying something new and that you are experiencing some sense of freedom, but you don't want to be miserable. If you are finding that you are tearing up on a regular basis, you need to see a therapist.
