Women in their 40s and 50s fall into a crisis that is disorienting depending on how well it is handled. This is commonly referred to as female midlife crisis. This is a confusing period that lasts between 3-10 years. It requires careful handling to avoid possible dangers as a result.
Aging is the single most recognized trigger for these predicaments. It comes with physical and emotional changes that are unavoidable and difficult to conceal. The appearance of wrinkles and grey hair sends the woman into panic. Other concerns relate to relationship stability, work and desired personal image. A health concern would also lead to worry to the extent of thinking that life is coming to an end.
There is no uniform trigger or response for all women. Some will experience predicaments because they have a job, while others will worry for not having a career. Others are worried about the nature of their careers while others wish they had a better one or they had pursued whatever they wanted at childhood.
Children throw the life of a lady into a spin. The issues range from having children to not having any. Other women are worried that the children have matured. The idea that they will be leaving home for school or getting married worries the mother. She sometimes finds fault in their upbringing and blames herself.
A parent who is alive plays a crucial role up to adulthood. His or her death leaves a gap that will never be filled. A women is left with no place to call home or to take her children during holidays and family gatherings. This is disorienting. Attention shifts to her to provide a home as her parents did. It becomes a huge task.
It is characteristic of women to get moody and strange at this stage. They are dramatic and easily stressed. They begin a new search for lost dreams or goals. They also are likely to pick teenage behaviors like clubbing, drinking and dancing. Others remember that they always wanted to sing and they want to pursue that.
A woman at this stage is remorseful and feels unaccomplished. It feels as though life is coming to a dramatic and drastic end. This causes panic as she struggles to do what she wished she would have done years ago. She is likely to return to old friends and such habits as drinking or clubbing.
A lady feels humiliated by more successful colleagues and withdraws. She begins to recount risks that were avoided and chances that were allowed to pass. This comes with a lot of regrets, stress and likely to lead to depression.
Some of the behaviors to watch-out for include alcohol abuse. This is an escape route as a woman tries to forget or enjoy what she thinks is youthfulness. She may result to acquisition of jewelry, tattoos, clothing and gadgets that are unusual, extravagant and which do not make sense.
A woman is likely to be depressed and pay particular attention to her body. She is vulnerable emotionally and might enter into a relationship with a younger person. She seeks to cover for absence of a parent or spouse. She encourages her children to pursue their passions like art, music, sports and academic. A lot of self acceptance is needed to come out of this phase within the shortest time.
