Do you sometimes look in the mirror and fail to recognize yourself? You take a deeper look and wonder what your purpose really is in this life? You could probably be suffering from an identity crisis. It comes at any age or point in life but can easily be checked.

An identity crisis can be triggered by major changes in your life like age advancement, marriage, divorce, child birth, a major transition like from college to work or getting fired.
