Q: Can running away solve things?
I'm 38 and have the strongest feeling that I'm not on the right path for me. I've felt it for almost 6 years but kept moving "forward" while I tried to figure out why I feel so stuck and unfulfilled. I'm not depressed and I've gone to therapy where although I had some childhood issues from growing up with a borderline parent they say I'm fine. I've felt this angst on and off through my life during transitions and then poof, it's gone. This time around it feels like a giant flashing read sign and it's not going away. I could give specifics on why I think it's because I'm in a sexless marriage and wanted kids or that my career has stalled, but I'm not sure it helps because I still can't decide what to do about it. I've been looking at my savings lately and frequently think about just going somewhere, alone for an undetermined amount of time. Is this crazy? Is this what a midlife crisis feels like and I need to just suck it up and go to yoga more?
