Clinically depressed to the physician.
To my loved ones, it's mid-life crisis or midlife transition.
After I go through all of them... guess this shit hole phase will be over.
Carl Jung identified 5 main phases of midlife:
- Accommodation (meeting others' expectations - actually, this takes place in the first part of life, but is the context in which midlife processes take place)
- Separation (rejecting the accommodated self)
- Liminality (a period of uncertainty, where life seems directionless and meanders)
- Reintegration (working out 'who I am' and becoming comfortable with that identity)
- Individuation (facing up to and accepting the undesirable aspects of our own character)
