You wouldn't be the only one to start in her thirties.
For me it's really tied to either anxiety or anger. I imagine you're feeling more than enough of either or both. Medication is what's most helpful to me. But expressing the anger verbally to my therapist is also helpful.
Anything that helps with anxiety might help. Exercise, relaxation. And doing that mindfulness exercise where you watch the urges and thoughts like watching leaves float by on a stream, without judging them or trying to stop having them, that helps me some.
