I can assure you that the vast majority of us go through it. You get to an age when you realise you are no longer the best looking and smartest person in the world, the Nobel prize committee is unlikely to call, the rock band you were in as a teenager maybe could have been the next Beatles, etc.
It's probably too late to become an astronaut, f1 driver, or whatever other dreams you had. Your partner has heard all your jokes and excuses. Your kids will no longer pull your finger. Let's face it, you are now the least endangered creature in the world; a middle aged male human.
As others have said, focus on the positives, be realistic about your desires but above all, cultivate your sense of humour.
My solution is to ride a crappy motorbike from Delhi into the Himalayas, and I'm leaving on Friday. Won't achieve anything but it will be a chance to re-boot. You need to sort this out yourself, in your own way, before it gets messy.
Most importantly, don't expect any good advice from the Internet.
Cheers,
Andrew
