You know when you reach your limit? When you have no strength to carry on with things that upset / bother/ hurt you? Well, think there is a great probability to be reaching it soon…
Maybe this is a stage people may call crisis, however it may need some classification.
Calling it Age crisis would be suitable once, undoubtedly, reaching the adult life with all its responsibilities and burdens is not an easy thing to manage. Calling it Graduation Crisis would suit it as well, ‘cause the last year of college brings the enquires: What am I going to do for now on? Keep studying? Travel? Work? Work with what?...and the like….
There may be also what is called Personal crisis. You know, when there is the impression that your personal life is a mean joke (e.g. Catastrophe). A Religious Crisis could be suitable too, when you sort of loose your faith somewhere along the way, and you need to find and get it back, ‘cause the absence of it makes you unbalanced.
A Family Crisis is when there is the need to deal with your parents “empty nest syndrome”, as well as, all their expectations, pressures, and so on, in an almost daily basis, while trying to cut off the ‘umbilical’ connection and spread your wings.
Meanwhile, the Creative Crisis hunts you, since, apparently, all that is written seems to be a bunch of non-sense meaningless things… Altogether, the Friends Crisis , as the awful mood that seems to be installed and settled inside your being, keeps pushing away from you all the ones you care about and who cares about you.
Yeah! I can hear someone saying: “What a melodramatic person!”… But, know what? Simply don’t care!
When it seems you are not in one of those kinds of crisis, but ALL of them at the same time, things are hard to see clearly. And, more than that, It is necessary to pass through it, to suffer, to learn from it, even when it is over and you stop and think: Maybe I overreacted!”
There is no magical solution. The only thing to be done is to exorcise the fears that hunts you in the way YOURSELF judges to be the best one. Let me deal with my OWN dilemmas, ‘cause I bet you have some of your own to deal with too.
