I am convinced now that I am in the middle of a mid-life crisis. What are the signs? Well, I just did the RealAge survey by those doctors who are on Oprah and I lied on some of the questions to make it look better. I got laid off about three weeks ago and am now not sure I want to do what I am doing (DO NOT tell my wife). I started working out again about nine months ago and now I am obsessed with it a little bit. I think my hair is thinning. I am concerned about my graying chest hair. I have a mole on my leg that I think should be looked at even though it doesn't have any of the criteria for skin cancer. I look in the mirror and squeeze my gut and shake my head. I am obsessed with nose hair and ear hair.
I doesn't help that I have read numerous articles lately that basically describe all the stuff I am going through. I feel like such a cliche.
My shrink (yes I see a shrink - have for years) doesn't seem concerned. My wife, I think, is a little befuddled. The kids think what I do is funny. My mom and sister seem supportive and excited for me.
Isn't getting older a wonderful thing? I'm not sure, I'll keep you posted.
