Life is a cycle made up of many seasons and the transition from one season to another may sometimes cause some worries to an individual. Often it is always some minor disruptions in the lifestyle of someone but for some people it persists and becomes a crisis. Female midlife crisis occurs between the ages of late thirties and forties. In the past, the roles of women were well defined and midlife crisis was unheard of.
However in the twentieth century, the lifespans of women have been lengthened incredibly with many of them living up to seventy or eighty years. When they get to around forty years and the task of bearing children is over, they start having a stretch of life that appears like a vacuum. At this point when their children have grown independent, they start deliberating if their lives really count.
Many women in this stage of life start to feel really lonely and even end up losing their sense of identity. They start paying too much attention to their appearance and the process of aging. They get into depression when they realize their beauty and energy is slowly fading away. The women who are not satisfied by their marriages may show even more evident symptoms.
Whether married, single or widowed, many women normally experience this crisis when they get to their middle age. For example, you may find a woman who had decided to be a spinster and concentrate on her career starting to feel too lonely to live alone. She may even go to the extreme of advertising for a suitable spouse in the newspaper because she is too desperate.
Another midlife condition may be show by a widowed woman after suddenly feeling the need to alter her appearance. She may start using anti-aging ointments, hiring stylists or even clothing like teenagers. Even if other people blather about their new manners, they are not liable to change for all they think of at this point is their new looks.
It is advisable for women to prepare themselves for this phase. They should take the phase as a time to examine their kind of lifestyle and to take stock. It is good that they point out the main issues that may lead them into crisis and deal with them on a personal level. If their problem is the fear of getting old, they should try acknowledging that old age has its own opportunities just like youthfulness.
Some women spend most of their lifetime taking care of their kids. There comes a time when these children grow and become independent making their mothers to feel useless. At this age, the women also become more exposed to many types of illnesses such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes among others. At this point what is important is that they try to live a positive life. All these issues are the causes of the weird types of behavior witnessed in middle aged women.
