Having a Quarter-Life Crisis can include some of the following:

• Feeling trapped and like something needs to change

• Stress, demotivation, doubt, intense emotions, isolation

• Instability, feeling all over the place, not feeling “normal”

• Symptoms last for over 1 year and feel like they will last forever

• Negativity is overwhelming. Struggling to cope with known strategies

• Intense questioning of yourself, your life situation, and the meaning of life

The good news is that the Quarter-Life Crisis is actually a positive marker in the process of self-development. It is an opportunity to come more fully into one’s own life and sense of self, and to become more aligned with one’s deeper purpose in life and way of living.
