A thrisis is a pre-mid-life crisis that happens in your 30s — rather than the stereotypical crisis that is said to hit in your 40s. A thrisis often slams you when you turn 30, although for some it can hit anytime during their thirties.

This is a "thrisis" — an uneasiness people experience as they hit the big 3-0. Or the big 3-uh-oh, as we like to call it.
