Midlife crisis

I’ve turned 42 and suddenly feel so low!!
I am bout sure about my relationship with my husband and haven’t been for years but feel guilty.
there have been a lot of issues over the years too much to discuss here. But no DV or serious issues that warrant leaving immediately. I don’t fancy him anymore. But then who does in longterm relationship?
anyway I’m suddenly looking older I can see fine lines under my eyes this is also making me feel low.
to add I also hate my job I’m a nurse and I’m at age now where I hate listening and dealing with other peoples problems I have tried applying for jobs outside of nursing but have done it so long it’s difficult unless I go back down to an entry level job which I couldn’t afford to do.
I feel exhausted every day and having difficulty remembering things, I dont nnow whether I would cope learning something new I already find my job exhausting!
I also have some new health issues to boot
today I went out for walk and just wanted to keep walking.
anyway not sure what advice I want tbh
Anyone else been through a midlife crisis and tips or advice!

Tbh you just sound tired and run down. Could you afford to take a career break? 3 months or 6 if you can afford it. And take some time out? Have a think about what you can do to improve things? Your eyes will probably look a lot better once you have had some proper rest and if they don't improve save up some money and go and get them fixed! Life is too short. Go easy on hubby. I'm sure he is feeling shitty about getting older too and is just as tired and fed up.

I don't know what the answer is but I am approaching 42 also, is it a midlife crisis 😬
