Great list Menelaus ... I honestly fit into about 80% of those categories.

Ouch. Hope it's all over by the time I'm 40.


On a lighter note - I had better forewarn my wife that I might :

Jump off a bridge
Leave her for another generation of woman
Quit my well paying contract for a laugh
Start reading the Koran
Stop working out
Go bald
Begin playing the guitar
Cut myself just to enjoy the pain, the pain.

The crisis part is the realisation that the symptoms previously listed can't be adequately or fully achieved again - ever

When the thing you get most upset about is a gas bill?

[OrangeHopper]

Serious answer.

I found I was completely uninterested in anything. No enthusiasm for anything. Got no enjoyment from anything.

I think it lasted about 6 months. Don't really remember doing anything special to get out of it: no big spend, no fast car, no change in wife. I just recognised things weren't quite right, tried to get from one thing to the next and tried to feel pleased about every little thing I achieved.

The main thing to come out of it - and I know it is obvious - was to realise that the sooner you get something done, the sooner you don't have to worry about it. Second was that completing two or three planned things a day, however small, is something to feel good about.
