Definitions

a mid-life crisis for those in their thirties

---

(Noun) A thirty-something crisis. Personal emotional turmoil caused by intense discontentment and boredom with one’s life; often pertaining to one’s career. Despite having achieved career goals and the appearance of success a thrisis sufferer feels trapped in a void of meaninglessness.

The word 'thrisis' became more widely used after an article appeared in the London Times in April 2008. In March 2009 the book THIRTYSOMETHING AND OVER IT by Kasey Edwards which addresses the causes and cures of a thrisis was published.
