I'm another member of the over 40s brigade. Any other old buggers having the midlife "crisis" ?
From a recent bbc article
"Common versions of the "crisis" frequently involve a variable mix of three phenomena occurring some time in the male 40s.
First, a degree of emotional flux and uncertainty - an "intrapsychic" reorganisation. Second, humiliating urges to seek out the romantic attentions of younger women. Third, a tendency to revert to childish behaviours, interests and recreational activities."
It's scary how accurate that description is. Im not really in any crisis as such TBH, but i sometimes wonder if this is why i started taking drugs again a couple of years ago. After being a confirmed druggie in my teens and twenties, i barely touched drugs for most of my 30s apart from a few occasional tokes when some generous fella happened to pass a joint in my direction.
I must admit i dont think i would have got back into drugs atall if it wasnt for the emergence and easy availabilty of Mephedrone a couple of years ago.
