The 3 phases of life in which people feel the most in crisis

New research by a team led by distinguished professor of psychiatry and director of the Center for Healthy Aging at the University of California, Dilip Jeste, has revealed that people feel especially lonely at three specific ages. According to statistics, this emotional state appears without any relation to one’s own will or to life’s circumstances.

O incredible.club delved deeper into the subject to discover the reasons why people go through moments of emotional crisis during certain stages of life. Follow:

First period: 28 — 29 years

“For me, 28 is the age where you stop feeling immortal. That’s when their light-hearted and sometimes destructive lifestyle starts to take its toll. It’s the age when the body shows the consequences of late nights partying, sedentary work, harmful habits. That’s when you seriously think it would be good to start eating well, drinking less and playing a sport. And this is not motivated by a fashion trend, but by the scary thought that if you don’t do something in the near future, everything will get even worse. 28 is a kind of physiological youth decay”.

It may even sound sad, but we are talking about a kind of obligatory old trampoline. Over time, these thoughts pass, but at 28, the individual feels that he is approaching the end of youth and begins to wonder if he lives correctly, what prevents him from achieving something he always dreamed of, if he did something wrong, if you need to change, etc. At this stage, we may have the feeling that we are letting life pass us by, but it is actually a great time to come to conclusions that we should have reached before.

Second period: 50 years

“I worked in the area of the defense industry. For 25 years I was the youngest in the place. First I was a young specialist, then the youngest head of the laboratory, then the youngest head of design. When I needed to change jobs and started working in another private company, I immediately became the oldest. Everyone called me ‘sir’ while I addressed them informally. They even helped me carry a heavy suitcase. I felt anxious, not quite understanding what was going on. I was 47 years old, but for my colleagues, that was already an advanced age”.

In reality, 50 is a respectable age, in every way. At this stage, most people carry out “basic” social tasks: finding their own space, achieving emotional stability, raising a family, buying or renovating their own home, reaching the peak of their career. However, all this brings new questions: “And now, what do I do? What is the future goal?” This is as inevitable as the temporal period of searching for the meaning of life, which helps to set new goals. Without difficulties, there is no development.

Third period: over 80 years

It is relatively common to see people at this stage of life who save for their own funeral and who invest in beautiful clothes that will not be used to go out, but during the “last trip”. Some even draw crosses on photos of friends who have died. And all this, of course, is very sad.

Unfortunately, there are those who reach 80 and start to consider that they are living a period of survival. When everything in life has already been conquered, something has been forgotten and much has been lost forever. All that remains is to look back and live in the past. However, at the same time, there are several examples of people over 80 who live more actively than many young people: they write in blogs, learn new professions, travel, work and show that all crises in our life can be overcome🇧🇷 Even at 80!
