I’m a female and recently turned 50 and yeah in a mid-life era. When it comes to women in their mid-life, there’s a lot of things that can contribute to mid-life crisis. Most are already in menopause, some are transitioning. And it’s so hard, in my own opinion and experience to be in this kind of life. The emotional and physical aspect of it is currently throwing me off the wall. Many would say its the enormous hormonal changes that contributes to it. I am an emotional person and feels things deeply so I guess this contributes too. I don’t know how to handle this or how am I doing. My friends were there of course but it feels like nothing helps. So for the men, do you all also feel this way? How was it like on your end? I know men are not emotional beings and were conditioned not to express certain emotions, but I want to know your opinions or experiences regarding mid-life. submitted by /u/SleepingSun111
