Op I don't know ur worry,I will be that 30 next year without any achievements,u better thank God for ur life,not clubbing again is what bothering,well diff type of people sha.

He never said clubbing was his problem. . .Read his post again, he said he spent his youth amassing wealth, and didn't have the luxury of most of the youthful pleasures. Its common knowledge that in life you'd regret what you didn't do over what you did.

Nonsense. If you know how many people die before their 30th birthday you will be graceful if you get there. Pray to God to continue to spare your life instead of been depressed for sparing your life.

Its always like that in a point in ones life. Thank God and motivate yoursef. Then also try and venture into a serious relationship. Am not saying you should rush marriage o. But just get a working relationship. Tht shud make you feel reponsible to some extent. Cheers

OP relax, 30 isn't the end of life.
You've had a good head start in life even if you don't see it that way. There will always be time to enjoy everything (in your case club etc.). If marriage is next for you, then do just that. Your can have fun with your wife before the children arrive, or after they come.

I think you're just perturbed now because we've somehow managed to convince ourselves that your early 20s is the time to have as much fun as you can get. You've done something different and should be happy about that.

Chill, there are people who wish they'd spent less time being guys and more doing something valuable with their lives smiley

op,some of ur mate hvn't achieved anything yet never killed themselves. At 30 from ur post u are comfortable materially just dat u missed the other side.
I tell you,at 30 I didn't hv 500k in my account and never married,not that I didn't hustle bt due to circumstances. I hv virtually done all types of occupation.
I left secondary school at the age of 17 bt no money to further my education and as the first son I hv to hustle and start helping my parents.I did apprenticeship,i trade,i learn work,later went back to school to do OND.,went back to bizness b4 getting married. You can guess what age I got married bt now am happy and never regret anything even though many of my mates hv stopped child bearing and am still starting.BT I thank God bcus some are dead, some lost their wife and some are living from hand to mouth nw.
Pls thank God for ur life and remain grateful to him, forget abt all those things u said u missed during ur youth age,they dnt last.I didn't enjoyed them bt am enjoying both world nw.
You will enjoy this world most if you get married to a good wife and comfortable financially, good health and seeing ur kids will gv u the greatest happiness.Starting everything early is good bt it's nt the sure road to happiness, some succeeded while others were regreting. Even,divorce and infidelity is more common on men that married too early than those that were older.Also,getting married from 28-32 is the best age bracket for a man irrespective of some tribes that abhors it.,its still d right age.
Just relax and look for a good wife you will enjoy the rest of ur life.Shalom
N.B sorry for some of my grammatical errors.

Hey guys,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'd go ahead and post here as it is related to health (depression).
Well, I don't want to bore you with long sermon-esque writings, so I'd skip the fancy stuff and go straight
to the point. I'd be turning 30 mid next year and its really eating me up! I feel depressed and old! Its been
giving me sleepless nights and middle of the night insomnia I wake up 4.00 am for no reason nowadays
and just stare at the ceiling lost in thought and scared as hell with thoughts of being in the twilight of my youth,
knowing I'd have to get married pretty soon, just 10 years away from 40, no more clubbing, no more spontaneous
Saturday drives. The worst part is I spent MOST of my teenage and youth life in self development and didn't have
time to indulge in some most of the activities attached to youthful exuberance.Its paid off, yes! But, I AM DEPRESSED right now! sad
Did any of you guys currently 30 and above experience same? Would really help if someone said something. *sigh*
Then what will the 10yr old who cannot walk say, or those younger than you who are decaying in the grave, or the 70 yr old man fighting for his life in the hospital? It's only human to feel depressed at times. We always define success and enjoyment by how the society sees it only for you to achieve all that and realise that it wasn't that important because it never gave you that inner happiness. You think people Your age and older don't have fun responsibly? Or do you envy all those juvenile deliquent teens?
This is your life, take charge of it and live it to the fullest.

Relax mate shi happens. . . Same ship here. You can't fight age/aging. In due time you'd get used to it, just make some minor adjustments before 33 wink If anything its the gals who are turning 30 that should be this worried. I know its troubling still gives me a few concerns but like I said thats LIFE. . . . Funny how we are almost age-mates BTW. Take it easy. Its not the end of the world .
'It's the girls turning 30 that should be worried'- That is one of the most deceitful,most delusional and most unreasonable lie I have heard in my life. You rendered your comment invalid with that statement.

I believe that the only thing that can make a man to be heavily depressed is health condition especially terminal ones. As long as ur healthy, pls thank God.
I know a guy though a friend, he wl be 42 this year bt he married at the age of 27 bt no issue up till date, he hasn't killed himself and he's always happy. I also hv a brother extended,he is 34 and deformed on the leg. He has finished school bt no job upon his brilliance, able bodied people never get work less talk of a deformed person. Brother, if you see this guy he's even happy more than able bodied ones and his family is poor.
Just believe and be hard working u wl make it. Op,should see ur post to thank God.
