Feeling Lost and Stuck in Life

D3monicRat

754d

Does anyone else have the constant feeling like your life is equal to nothing and you're going no where? or like you've been playing pretend with your identity for years because in reality you have no idea who you are, what your skilled at, what you have going for you, or if you're doing "good" or "bad" in life? I keep telling myself that I'm finally getting my life together but am I really? I feel stuck. Self destruction through sh was all I've known for years and suddenly having to give that up.. it's hard. I don't know what I'm doing with my life or what I want anymore.

      Right right! Like...I like gaming and zombies. That's like it. That's all I got. And I'm like...caring... selectively. So...yeah. everything else is a blank. Like I'm just copying and pasting others personalities to myself cuz idk what mine is. Like a blank slate

      a lot of the time i feel like i’m making no progress, even if i’m making money or in school or maintaining healthy relationships (etc). and i barely understand who i am or what my goals are. goals to me can seem so complicated and unachievable/impossible. maybe we should focus on smaller goals to better ourselves in the moment rather than larger goals that can be intimidating.

        @loosely_k larger goals can be intimidating. It's like weight lifting. If you start with the smaller weights, you'll eventually build enough strength to tackle the bigger weights.

        @Kaaii I'm glad I'm not alone at least. It makes me wanna unalive myself a little less at times like this tbh. I think something that really helps is getting myself a schedule or at least a notebook and note taking at least. it gives me some sense that I'm here and I'm me living my own life, not someone elses.

          @D3monicRat we are all over the place going the same thing :) don't stress too hard and try not to think about it. That's just kinda what I've learned to do. Just act naturally. And by that I mean naturally to you. Not anyone else's "natural" don't think, just do :) you'll figure it out

        @Kaaii I know what I like but also sit and stare at a wall for hours so I don't have any.. experience in shit ig so I have no real skills so.. you're right it's kinda a hard thing to explain to people. Even just being mentally burnt out is hard.

          @D3monicRat enjoying certain things and having possible interests but having no energy/lack of space in mind to pursue them further.
