<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 23190, member: 1258"]Since what we collect and how we collect tends to mirror our personality and character, I think that depression or dissatisfaction with an area of your life would certainly affect how you collect. If you feel that there are portions of your life that are beyond your control now, or if you are depressed because you're "feeling your age" it would stand to reason that you would take it out on the one thing you have total control over - your collection. Keep in mind that we all feel these things over the course of our lives and the age milestones are always good for a new bout of depression and "This is not where I planned to be by now" blues. That is exactly what the so-called "midlife crisis" is. Why don't you take out all of your coins, group them together in different ways, take some time to see what jumps out at you. It may be that what you have isn't even what you really want to collect right now. It all comes down to realizing that, when all the world around you is beyond your control, your collection is the one thing that no one else can take away from you or take control of. Revel in that. God knows, that the outside world can make everything else so difficult! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
