Posted by jepoyzter under Random Post
I have the habit of reading my friends status messages every time I go online. And last night I saw Candy’s status message and read her blog. Ahhhh, yun pala tawag dun. Its Quarterlife crisis.
This is from Wikipedia and thanks for Candy for the link:
Definition: The quarterlife crisis (QLC) is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the ages of 21 – 29. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis. It is now recognised by many therapists and professionals in the mental health field.
Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:
- feeling “not good enough” because one can’t find a job that is at one’s academic/intellectual level
- frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
- confusion of identity
- insecurity regarding the near future
- insecurity regarding present accomplishments
- re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
- disappointment with one’s job
- nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
- tendency to hold stronger opinions
- boredom with social interactions
- financially-rooted stress
- loneliness
- desire to have children
- a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you
Bolded are characteristics that I have. See… 12 out of 14. Should I see a phyciatrist?
For more information, read more about Quarterlife Crisis on Wikipedia.

It sucks, doesn’t it? Haay. No wonder I’ve so depressed/confused lately. =\ But anyway… I think we really have to stop thinking that it’s a quarterlife crisis and just commit it to the Lord…
in ur confusion, don’t see a shrink.. seek the Lord hehe He has the answers… advice ako ng advice pero di ko naman ginagawa haha
for a time 13 out of 14 ako a! kasi nga pala 22- 29 years old haha lapit ng 29! nabawasan na ng mga 3 cguro now so 10 na lang out of 14. Haha…it’s normal, that too shall pass… hehe
desire to have children?! are you crazy?! once you have children like me, then you know what is the real meaning of “your enter-life crisis”, hahaha….
another thing, you know you’re doing better than me, you don’t need to sense it, hahaha… sa tech gadgets at WLH CDs pa lang, talong-talo na ako…. KLM!!!! hahaha
aileem: oo nga eh di-tsi, sana as soon as possible.
bro. mike: minsan ko lang naman iniisip to have kids. Cyempre iba kasi pag may nakikitang lang bata sa bahay. Pero I know and I am aware the sacrifices you have to take having children.
