I felt the same way when I turned 40. I thought the idea of a midlife crisis was a joke. Then around 48, I found myself fighting depression (at least my version of it) and everything in life was just blah and I was frustrated to why. Once I started talking about it I found out many other men had the same experience in late 40s, I think the timing of midlife has moved. Just be ready for it is my advice so you can recognize when it comes. Once I understood it was classic midlife crises thinking it was much easier to find a path through it. Don’t mean to be preachy on your note but I wished more older men had been open with me about their experiences at that age. Oh, and the awesome part of being 40…. Everyone starts leaving you alone when you tell them you don’t want to do something😁
