Not a midlife crisis, its a developmental stage of life. You could reframe that, and say that you are ready for change. being good enough in this modern world is difficult with all the external pressures we have to endure. At 35 years old, I too looked at my life a felt something was severely lacking. I decided I would change career and do something I wanted to do, not what family and society expected of me. I decided to train as a psychotherapist. This gave me a great sense of personal acheivement by helping other people and deep personal knowledge and incredible self awareness. I had experienced an extremely abusive childhood and psychotherapy was a way to heal myself, this is a common theme for psychotherapists. I'm 70 next birthday and I am happy with my life. I shall die a happy man. I would suggest spending a few months in psychotherapy just to get a sense of who you are and what you want. Most of my clients over 25 years did not have mental health problems, they were looking to find a new way to live their life.
