I'm 42 ok career good but not very close friends, one amazing dc, ok relationship with dh but lately I've been thinking is this it? I feel like I'm running out of time and I want to do more .. I don't know what. I should be feeling very lucky for what I have but I am questioning everything.. is my dh the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, do I want another baby, is my career really what I want to do until I retire..
Is this normal?

I can't work out what it is I want..

Anyone else felt like this!

Hi, yes this sounds very familiar to me. I don't have any great advice other than not doing anything rash and trying to get some time to yourself to think. I'd recommend Miranda Sawyer's book on the subject, it helped me organise some of my thoughts around it.

Yes, though I am older and have adult DC! There is still a lot of time until I can retire so I am constantly thinking about what I want to do between now and then. I seem to have run out of ideas and energy but toying with the idea of leaving work (part time) to start working for myself in something completely different.

I think I have lost focus now DC are grown, though they still need lots of input and support.
