Have you been through a midlife crisis?

We Answered:

You have a long way to go in life, and there will be so many twists and turns. Anything is possible. The economy is tough right now, but switching careers might not be a bad thing or impossible. Everyone has room in their budget. I switched careers about 7 years ago. It's a tougher job but I'm making more money now. The good thing is, I know I can find a job in my previous career if needed.

I would say you should find what you want and work with your husband to get it done. Otherwise you will probably crack and abandon your life all together in one form or another. If you're completely miserable and dwelling on "what if?" I don't think that would be any good for you, your husband, or your son.

You have to take care of yourself first, your marriage second, and your children third. If you fall apart, your marriage and parenting will follow. If your marriage falls apart, your son will not get the parenting he would get otherwise. Find what you want or need to be fulfilled and work with your husband to get it.

If you just had your child, do you think you could be suffering from postpartum depression? You might want to see someone about that, from what I understand it can be extremely difficult to handle without help.

Also, going to church could help too. I know you've shot this option down already, but if you really want to change, you have to do something different than you're doing now. If you are in a spot in life that you don't like, you must be open to all options others suggest, or it's pointless to ask for help. Many churches provide opportunities for volunteering and helping others, which can provide a way for you to feel like you're making a difference in the world. Also, churches can provide excellent networking opportunities for those looking to change careers or find activities to enjoy and the people to enjoy them with and friends, support groups, etc... I know you've shot this option down already, but if you really want to change, you have to do something different than you're doing now. Remember that the definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing the exact same way and expecting different results.

I hope I have helped you even a little. Good luck.
