    This. Just had an existential crisis at 40-43. Slowly recovering and regaining a bit of perspective but holy shit did that hit hard. I’ve never had mental problems before, so this really fucked me up something good.

      I did that around 27 or so. I wonder if that means I’m good from here on out, or is that 40s one just waiting to reaaaaally fuck my shit up. 🤔

      Hope you’re doing better though. From experience, absolutely not a fun thing to go through :(

        It’s getting better. Has mostly to do with my job in combination with the rise of the Nazis. I may have something new and better on the horizon but even if not, I’ve managed to not give as much of a fuck and I say no way more often nowadays.

          Okay, extremely relatable lol. I was at a job that, while I absolutely loved the people I worked with, we were all so overworked while being severely undervalued and underpaid. It was depressing as hell, constantly stressful, and just an overall bad time. I had my first gray at 26. Pair with that Trump’s original presidency and things going to shit and yeah…
