Is it too early for a midlife crisis?

It may only be stress, but lately I have been feeling lost and an urge to do something new. I don’t think I am having a midlife crisis, but you never know. They say the average age for a midlife crisis is 46, so I am quite a ways off from that. I think my issues stem from the drama I have had to deal with at work over the last year and my total lack of any social activities. Ok, that’s a lie. I do get out but not nearly as much as I should.

If I was to have a midlife crisis, I don’t think it will be your typical, “go out and buy a sports car”. I say this mainly because I don’t really like to drive, and getting a sports car just doesn’t fit. I think lately my urges have been more of rebellion of sorts.

My list is pretty short, but it is a list I have thought over for years. I currently have only 2 tattoos, the latest I got last October. However, both of my currents ones were at least 5 years in the making. The list I have of other potentials is down to 3. I think in the next month that list will be down to 2.

    You do sound like you have some of the signs of a midlife crisis, no matter what your age. I guess you could just call it restlessness. If you come to my blog, there is a list of signs of midlife crisis.
