What is a midlife crisis?

What is a midlife crisis?

A midlife crisis is the feeling of being dissatisfied with your life as you reach middle age. You may start to have regrets about things you’ve missed out on and the decisions you’ve made. These feelings can be influenced by your career choices, finances and a decline in your physical abilities.

You may experience new levels of responsibility or stress that bring about such feelings. For example, looking after an ageing relative or worrying about children that are leaving home.

You may also become sad or depressed as you confront the idea of your own mortality and attempt to regain your youth. This can sometimes involve making impulsive decisions that you wouldn’t normally make.

Common symptoms of midlife crisis

  • Regret

  • A sense of nostalgia

  • Low self-esteem

What people think of our services

What people think of our services

Here are just a few of the people who have completed our 10-Step Programme and been kind enough to tell us what they think…

I contacted Teri after losing my dear Mum in lockdown. I was hesitant at first as my confidence had slipped away. But I was soon walking with Teri and the other ladies and gents. We shared stories etc. I thoroughly enjoyed my time out and felt like I had achieved something great.

What a turnaround my life has taken since then. I’m now getting my confidence back. I would recommend Walk Talk Action to anyone who’s struggling in life.

KAREN

Walk Talk Action has helped me more than anybody could ever imagine. I only have one sentence to put it into words: I can honestly say that I don’t know if I would be here right now, if it wasn’t for their help and support.

WAYNE

Walk talk action has helped me get out of the house, given me some independence away from all the roles in my life and given me a place to truly be me.

Thank you, Teri, I will be forever grateful. You’ve helped me find parts of myself that I thought I’d lost.

CLAIRE

I have managed to get back into work and find a new career path. My self-esteem and confidence are on the mend and, honestly, I put most of it down to meeting Teri and Walk Talk Action.

Teri is one of the loveliest people I have ever met and her children are just amazing. Thank you so much for everything. Without you and our Tuesday walks, I don’t think I’d be here now.
