IM’s I am and have been criticality analysing/questioning my life for some time and just can’t seem to stop and smell the roses.
Is this normal? Should I just be happy with where I am in life? I have been in a relationship for 4 years, we own a home, I have a ‘good’ job earning over 60k but I just can’t seem to shake these feelings.
I feel lost, confused, insecure, frustrated self critical and just down.
I have tried talking with my partner about this but it is brushed off that I must be going through a mid life crisis early (I’m turning 24 this year).
I guess this all started after our daughter was born sleeping two years ago. I’m not sure if things have changed or if it’s just my perspective. Maybe a bit of both.
I don’t really know what my question is but I guess I want to know is, is this normal? How long is too long to feel like this? Do I just accept that this is the way life is or how do I shake these cloud feelings?

I’m so sorry for your loss! I can’t begin the imagine how that would feel!
Grief is a funny thing. Have you got a good support network? If not maybe a councillor to get an unbiased.
Maybe book a holiday go and be inspired!
Go and see your GP. Get a referral for counseling. You are probably still grieving the loss of your baby. Don’t let your partner brush your feelings aside. Get support. When I had a miscarriage my husband kept brushing aside my feelings of sadness as though nothing had happened. Our son was born 16 months later. Soon after I was diagnosed with PND. Again my husband brushed my feelings aside. It wasn’t until our son was 9 months old that I went on antidepressants and started counseling. After several sessions it was determined that a lot of my issues could be traced back to not grieving properly after the miscarriage.
