Thirty something teenage angst

[Adam]

I feel like a teenager lately. I don't know what is up. Sometimes I feel like I just want to rebel but I'm so passive that I become angsty instead.

I exercise as remedy. Yesterday I did a fast short 3 mile run and 15 mile off and on road bike ride but a few hours later I wanted to break something again.

Minor annoyances become major in my head; it's no good for a healthy relationship with my gf. I am happy with most aspects, I'm out of London; I have space now, it's less crowded, I have a veg patch! and although I'm not earning much I am starting to get my business off the ground better than I ever have before.

I read some other blogs about thirties angst and some have just diagnosed themselves with some form of ADHD which I haven't got but as I read them I think to myself 'man up and stop your whining'.

Anyone else suffer or do I need to man up and quit my whining?

I get that feeling sometimes.

I guess once I grew up I didn't quite know what to do with myself - I didn't have any reasons to complain really, but I still wanted to be subversive or against something - but what? No one particularly cares what you do as an adult, what is there to become besides "the man" ?

No I feel the same. 32 years old now and feeling quite blah about it all.

I think women are conditioned for disappointment from an early age (maybe even earlier than menarche), whereas boys are raised to believe they can achieve anything. Maybe growing to realise that we can't achieve anything is the source of this angst?

I go off over some stupid and some not so stupid stuff. I have discovered that 3 beers in makes it real easy for me to get mad about stupids shit. When I get pissed with no beer, Its easy for me to address it and forget it.
