i think i'm having a mid life crisis-at 19
18/f
I'm about to be 19 in a couple of weeks and i think i'm like having a mid life crisis for some reason. I have been watching shows I used to watch when I was like 10 and even looking at my old dolls, ones that i used to collect, i was even looking at the collector dolls considering buying them. I've been watching disney movies and just all sorts of kiddish stuff.
I'm just sad I guess because I know I'm not really a kid anymore. The next 6 years will be hard (i'm getting my masters degree.) and i just won't be a kid anymore. Pretty soon I'll be done with school, married, kids, and then i'm dead. It's just so depressing.
I've always acted older for my age, and grew up too fast. Is it normal to feel this way and act this way? at my age haha

You know what, I'm going to keep my answer simple:
Yes, it is totally normal to feel like this when approaching any life milestones. You want to cling to your past because it is what you know and where you feel safe. As long as it doesn't take over your life/keep you from living your life, it is ok. It sounds like you have great plans to look forward to. Take time to acknowledge the sadness and indulge your inner child and then move on with your plans. And know that there will be plenty of times that this will hit you, and it is ok. It is completely normal.

Well then... I am older and still do the same. I still have back thoughts about such things and still even watch cartoons. I remember being a little one and watching Dragonball and Dragonball Z. Loved it. Still do. I have a few thousand pokemon cards from when I was younger and I don't do much with them. But simply having them is enough to make me think about it.
I see exactly where you are coming from and to be honest. I wouldn't be worried about it too much. People go in and out of times in life that cause temporary depression issues. You may be thinking way too much like I often do. Or maybe just seems like things aren't right lately. But remember you are you and your personality is what you like,who you are,what you think and so on.
There's no wrong way to be you. Even if you is liking cartoons and figures and such. Don't be ashamed of you. There are people who go to conventions every few month for anime and toons and dolls/figures. Hell I worked with a guy who was 34-36(can't remember exactly) who had a normal life. Nice house, good job, beautiful wife and awesome kids. Won't put them past annoying but they were nice. He was very mature, although he loved to joke and screw around he knew when to be serious and when it was okay to have fun. EVERY month he had a new convention he went to just to look at collector's action figures. And he didn't just collect them like most, he played with them often. You should be old enough to know better but too young to care at this point and I assume that's about what you are eh? Interests are all you. Many people share the same interests as you, don't be ashamed. I still watch Dragonball and other anime/cartoons a bit. As far as the life thing. Yeah that's how it happens but I think you missed a few points. It's not about where you end up or how you think it's going to be. It's about filling the gaps you left open and enjoying it, making it one to be proud of, never looking back but only to remember. You have a big blank page with your name on it to fill and I know that I'm gonna do my best to make this mofo I got colorful as hell. ;x
