Is it normal for me to have a nervous breakdown just because I’m 33?

Man, I never really got to live my youth properly—how did I suddenly become 33? My whole life has been full of pain. Full of loneliness. I didn’t really experience anything meaningful between the ages of 17 and 30. My beautiful youth is gone, just like that.

Right now, I don’t want to accept being 33, man. Is this something being forced on me? Can’t we just go back to being 20 somehow, please? This universe and this country owe us an entire youth.

A nervous breakdown? So you are unable to function, sitting at home paralyzed.

The good news is that you aren't dead yet. What do you want? What do you have to do to get it? Start now, or you'll have the same feeling at 43, 53, 63 and it will get worse every year.

Have you considered professional counseling? It could make a big difference. Helped me. Wish I had started when I was younger.

I'm 46 and still not stressing about my age, lol. I did have a long relationship in my 20's, and I got to live those years how I wanted. I can understand if you feel regretful about missed opportunities. 33 is still young to me. This should just be sign to you that you should seize the moment, and start living your life to the fullest.

Did 32 bother you? Is 33 actually significant or you were just going to pick whatever the current number was? I think you know whatever you feel isn't normal because whatever you experienced from 17-30 is probably not normal either.

32 bothered me, but everytime the number is increased, it started to bother me much bigger. Because i am getting old and problems are still there

Just for being an age? No, that’s not normal.

that's called a mid life crysis xD some people get these. you'll get over it. best focus on what you want to do with your life right now. not on what you "should have" done. live in the present not in the past.

look at it this way. 33 may be bad but wait until you are 50. Stop whining and go out and have some fun before you are too old to do so,

Only if someone made you really angry or depressed.

Nothing about this is normal.
