A Little Lost

Lately I’ve been confused as to who I am. I’m not really sure what I want to do with my life or even what I like doing anymore. Any advice? How do you guys find meaning to life?

Samesies.!. and i also do not have an answer to those big topics personally. What i know is however your day is going you might choose to really give meaning to certain moments (be really present and not coasting by :) ) That's where i'm at myself so yeah.

This is a great point. You mean something like " just be" ?

Yes start with once a day doing anything ... engage during that time fully with what you're doing and who you're doing it with... when i do that and i review my day those moments are pockets of time where i feel like i was really experiencing life u know.

There have been different transition times in my life. Times where I feel no sense of purpose.

One time I went back to school. This time I started a volunteer job.

I need something that occupies my time.

I get like this. Mine comes and goes. Was a lot worse a long time ago before being placed on an ssri. That’s seems to help but I still have those days. Still unsure why I get like this. Mine is a mixture of this with anxiety cause I’ll dwell on it for a little and start to freak myself out. Best thing to do is to power through it, find motivational videos, listen to music, be around people you trust and open up to them. Support groups help a lot to. I do one at my church weekly that helps people that struggle in life and it’s very helpful.
