Bigbird Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Millennials are having their midlife crisis early Chris Pash Nov 22, 2017, 9:22 AM Millennials appear to be having their mid, or more like quarter, life crisis earlier then previous generations as they face pressure to make their work and private lives successful. A lot of their worry is centred around finding a job that they’re passionate about as they compare themselves to more successful friends. According to research by LinkedIn, three-quarters of 25 to 33 year olds have had a quarter-life crisis, often related to feeling as if they were at a crossroads in their career. The average age of a quarter-life crisis is 27 years old and it hits both men and women Millennials. Those who work in arts and culture industries are more likely (85%) to have had a life crisis, followed closely by IT and telecoms (84%). Globally, nearly 80% of those aged 25 to 33 have felt under pressure to succeed in relationships, career or finances before hitting 30. Finding a job or career that they’re passionate about is the top reason they feel anxious, even more so than about finding a life partner. Nearly half (48%) of respondents felt anxious when comparing themselves to others. Some of the results from the survey: Source: LinkedIn The online survey was conducted by Censuswide on behalf of LinkedIn from October 31 to November 3 of 6,014 people across the US, UK, India and Australia. LinkedIn says more than a third (36%) surveyed have entirely changed their careers, switching to new industries and roles. Although career pivoting is prevalent among 25 to 33 year olds, this may be more of a result of the changing workforce. “While there isn’t one simple solution to getting over a quarter-life crisis, getting advice from people that have had similar experiences can help when you’re at a crossroad in your career,” says LinkedIn. LinkedIn data shows that job-hopping overall has doubled in the last year, and more than two-thirds of job-changers have pivoted careers. Nearly one-quarter (23%) have taken a career break during this period of uncertainty, taking time off from work to reevaluate what they want to do. One in 10 have switched from full-time work to freelance or temporary work assignments.

Bigbird Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Midlife Crisis and Depression in Women Depression is a significant concern in midlife. When looking at gender and age, women from age 40 to 60 have some of the highest rates of depression. Depression in middle-aged women is made more complex due to menopause. Menopause during midlife crises naturally makes the situation worse. Female depression at age 50 or above can be perimenopausal depression. Perimenopausal depression is a type of depression unique to women and is in part aggravated by fluctuating levels of estrogen. Painful or abnormal menstrual cycles, hot flashes, and intense, abrupt mood swings are often symptoms of depression that middle-aged women endure. Women in midlife crises suffer many of the same symptoms as men; however, women tend to experience less anger and irritability and more tearfulness. At the same time women usually have midlife crises, they are also in the approximate age range for menopause, which has a big impact on their midlife experiences. https://www.oprah.com/inspiration/hear-from-women-facing-the-new-midlife-crisis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
