I'm 27. Hope that's old enough for you.

Talk to a therapist. Seriously. Everybody has doubts about where they're going in life and what they should do. You've worked hard and you're at a point where you're wondering if it's worth it. A therapist should be able to help you look at the situation objectively and figure out why you feel unsatisfied.

For what it's worth, my parents have been retired for twenty years and they're still doing things they want to do.

Hope that helps.

OP here

Mmmmhh, well, you're about twenty years too young, but thanks for the advice anyway. It's not an "I'm going crazycakes!" type of thing (if it were I would be able to shrug it off a lot easier, believe me), the annoying thing is that my brain is quite coldly calculating, "Okay, this isn't working, so here is plan B."

Thing is, plan A IS working, nicely. Ticking along. No complaints whatsoever. My brain, however, is insistent that plan A is NOT what I want for my future, either immediate or long-term. When it really should be.

I know exactly why I'm not satisfied, so a therapist would be a waste of money to tell me what I already know (a lot of death, disease, and general despair has been hitting both my immediate and extended family over the last five years or so), and that still won't go very far towards my brain stopping it's "CARPE DIEM BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD" at me.

Thanks, though. I'm glad your parents are enjoying their retirement.

Knowing exactly why your not satisfied is not actually a reason not to see a therapist. You're obviously having some issues dealing, doesn't matter if you know the reason or not. Therapy is not always about finding the source of the issue. In fact for a lot of people therapy is about dealing with an issue, not finding the reason behind it.

Therapists aren't just for crazycakes. They exist to help you figure out your problems and what you can do about them.

I still think you should talk to someone about your dissatisfaction.

OP

Replying to both of you here...unfortunately, such services are not available in my area. But thanks, though, I'll consider it. I'm not (quite) ready to jump on a plane and see where I end up, so it's not an emergency type situation yet...if it were, I would definitely seek help. Not discounting it. Just leaving that for a last resort / later option, if I can't get this straightened out on my own. Thanks though.

You're welcome. I hope things get better for you soon.
