Is my life bad? Not at all. However, just yesterday I went to a doggie daycare to check it out for my dog, and I think….wow, I could totally do that for a living. Or, I think, maybe I should consider moving and doing something drastic that I never would ever have done when I was married. Or, decide to take a class and learn a new language, or get a tattoo. I don’t actually DO these things, but I tend to go overboard in my thoughts in terms of how I want to change my life.
Is this something that is common for people? I feel like my friends don’t battle with the same gripes- totally waking up one day and changing career paths when they are perfectly happy in their own. Or, contemplating going to get my PhD. Things like that. My pendulum swings way overboard to the other side every day.
Or, is this just me being worried and my anxiety popping up?

*Anything* can be a symptom of anything. example someone twirling their hair (just an example not that its your problem) can be a mental disorder, a mental disorder or anything in between or it can be nothing.the only way to know whether something is a symptom of something like medical or mental health issues is by consulting your medical doctor and other treatment providers.
many people get the same feelings to make changes in their lives for many reasons. sometimes it is a mental disorder symptom, sometimes its a physical health symptom and other times its midlife crisis kind of thing and other times its just a personal choice just like going to church is a personal choice.
my suggestion contact your treatment providers. they can help you discover if this is something that points to being a symptom or not.
