Seems like a fancy geeky way to say that you are having a(n early) midlife crisis. You'll get your stability back once it's over.

The "criticism" section of the wiki article suggests that a midlife crisis is basically just a regular crisis that happens to occur in midlife, and that people can have crises whenever.

So it's really just a regular crisis!

"A midlife crisis is experienced by many people during the midlife transition when they realize that life may be more than halfway over." I love to laugh at my internal model of an evidential decision theorist, updating the likelihood that I'll live less than 52years now.
