I'm 36 (soon to be 37) and I literally have no life. I left my job a year and a half ago (I had a good paying, fairly low stress job...but I left because I felt SO bad...I was the ONLY woman in my group NOT to have a baby or be pregnant)...I regret it now because since, I haven't been able to find a job...ANY job. I have a MA and I can't even get an interview half the time. I am so so so sad about the baby thing. My husband cannot give me a child, and we don't want to adopt or use donor sperm. I feel like I will never be happy. I was never happy as a child, and was always "waiting" to go to college and make a happy life, and here I am...almost 37...no family, no job, totally unhappy...I isolate myself because all of my friends now have families and it just hurts too much to be around them. I've tried counseling and medication, but it hasn't really helped. I don't know what to do. :( I feel like its too late for anything good to happen. I don't even have a career and I can't seem to get myself motivated. :( Hi Midlifecrisisqueen,

I am seriously lost. I’m 36 (soon to be 37) and I literally have no life.

Check out any local suicide lines. Call someone. See if your county offers any free counseling services. Don't do this to yourself! -Laura Lee Mary:

He told me about your website and it just stuck in my head, I absolutely LOVE what you are doing. Today a middle aged man totally dropped a bomb on me. I am going to recommend your book and your forum to him. You're helping people beyond your arm's reach! Bless your beautiful heart! Love, The Midlife Crisis Princess Dear Midlife Crisis Queen,

I really don't like myself very much at all, but for some reason that is not enough to motivate me to change. I think that the feeling, my feelings are the result of an issue with my brain chemistry. I don't really know how long ago I started feeling like this, but it has certainly been many-many years since I felt good about myself for more than a few minutes. I constantly seem to find ways to fail, i joke about the Redskins snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, but that is the way I feel about myself most of the time. I feel like such a loser.
