At what age did you feel like life was getting better? What about worse?

For me, life really began being enjoyable at about 22. You've been loved, you've been hurt, you've tried out a few jobs. You realize that life does in fact go on, even though when you're younger, it seems as if a depressing day, or week, or year will last forever.

My life has never been perfect (even till now). Ups and downs and sideways, too. But the essence of life is how you live it during the good times and , unfortunately, during the bad times, too. So all of those bad things I charge to experience and hope that I don't trip over the same rock twice. And for the good things, keep on coming.\n\nMost of those who reply to this question so far say that they should have done better in elementary or high school or college. Right answers. There are no wrong answers. But come to think of it, don't you guys feel that your misses and "mistakes" have helped you to grow stronger and better equipped to face more challenges? What do you think?

Life is full of ups and downs.  I'm sure I would handle a lot better than when my 13 year old son died.

For me, it happened around 40, at least started then, and lasted for about 5 years, sad to say. It was not a great time in my life. I lost my Mother and Dad to death, my wife to divorce, and a job that I had worked at for 21 years. At about 45 , I began to get my life back together, and move on. Since then, my life has been much better though. I tell you this because I want you to know....there IS life after a "midlife crisis"! Most everyone does go through them, yes, but "through" is the keyword. You don't stay there forever!! Good Luck!!

No.When I was in my late teens I was suicidal all the time,and deeply depressed.I had no family at all in this world.I felt I had nothing to live for and no focus in my life.I always lacked affection.At one point totally starved of affection I felt if someone gave me a hug I would break down completely.I had my children at 21 and 22.They give me all the love and affection I need and more.

25!  Hands down.  I loved it.  My auto insurance dropped.  No one thought of me as a child anymore.  I felt grown.  I wasn't 'old' yet.  it is the perfect age.  Just grown enough to be grown.  Just young enough to be young...I have been turning 25 for the last 7 years!

ive felt like this soo many times in life....for a long time i wallowed in it, wondering what to do. then i started finding things to occupy my mind, like i started exercising by myself, or you know reading and stuff. life sometimes is funny, like you go through things that are sooo miserable, but then later in life, its like wow, that really made me appreciate any piece of happiness i get....i am a better person, and more compassionate i think because i went through some rough times when i was younger.

You don't look your age at all!  I'd like to be twenty four, it seems like at that age you're sorted, you have a place to live, a job, and you know what you're doing in life.  I'm eighteen at the mo, (and happy of course! ) yet I feel like I'm too young to be getting up and going, yet too old to be sitting still.
