Quarter life crisis??

Im 28, single, in between jobs with limited prospects (although in part time grad school) and bordering to apathy. Most friends my age are either successfully employed, married or both. Don't get me wrong, I was almost living my dream until last year and then things changed. Is this normal, and how can I move on? I feel like a real life Bridget Jones. Blimey!

Answer:
Last year when things changed, according to you, you just went through a dip. Everybody's life takes a dip now and then.

You sound determined and motivated. Just hang onto your dreams and visions and bite the bullet. You will get there - the position you are in presently is just temporary. Somebody special is waiting for you.

Good luck and lots of best wishes for a bright future.
LOL I know how that feels sometimes. they had a book about it even its called like 20 something 20 everything or something like that. dont feel bad at least u r still young and thers somethin to be happy about!!
It sounds to me like you're getting an experience in "life on life's terms."
Is this normal? Happens ot just about everyone I know, myself included.
For me, I think about what I need to do to improve what's going on in my life and make those changes. I also have to remember that the changes I make are not going to happen overnight, and that the results I feel are necessary for me aren't always going to coincide with how things actually happen; I just have faith that the result are the best thing for me.
Good Luck!
Yes, this is normal. Circumstances can change, no matter what age things happen, and all we can really do when things like this happen is to deal with the problems we're faced with, and build things up, and back to the way we want them.
It doesn't get any better when you get a little older. But I understand the 25-30 year old dilemma. When I was 30 I went through a mid-life crisis. I wasn't married and most of my friends were. Then I realized that it wasn't in my personality to settle down like some kind of fairy tale. I am still single and the problem still persists as long as I choose to go there. The difference is that I have learned to accept my fate even if it is a pattern of being alone.
Awwww im sorry you feel in a bit of a slump but the truth is we all feel it from time to time. One of the best things i find i can do if i hit what i consider as a low is this.sit down with a pen and a piece of paper and consider what i want from life. I write each point down in order of what i want first or most importantly then work on them. Its just my opinion but i find anything easier to deal with if its in small chunks and the same applies with life for me. Flexibility in life is i think also important being able to roll with the punches and keep adapting as life changes around you. On another note i hope you progress out of this and that you feel more content soon, life has a funny way of throwing things at you when you least expect it good things as well as bad and i hope good things are just around the corner for you.

Best wishes
