Ok, to be clear, I don't know if I'm having an 'early midlife' or whatever, I'm only 35, but I'm plagued by feelings of inadequacy and restlessness and longing for 'the good old days' (which weren't even good! I was a coke addict in my twenties and heartbroken for most of it and it was bloody awful!). I have a decent career that I like but I constantly find myself daydreaming about running away to another country and changing my name and just trying to start again.
I guess I'm asking... if you know you've had, or are having, a midlife - what does it feel like? Is it like this? I've been to some counselling but I don't know what to do really.
