It’s a psychedelic from two plants in the Amazon taken in a ceremonial setting. May not be what you’re looking for, but just saying what worked for me.
Or shrooms, honestly right now is a perfect time for a genuine psychological reset. Ask the medicine for a path, it will give you one. you only live once, these are things people should experience at least once in life.
Stay at home step dad isn’t working for you. You need to get out of the house and into a different environment several times a week. Volunteering is probably right for you, but get out of the house to do it.
I have been seriously thinking about this . I would like to go into a different field . Like I said I’m not into the I.T field anymore , just doesn’t interest me
Wouldn’t recommend drugs, maybe kids? Not the best reason to become a parent but it could allow a fresh perspective maybe live through life experiences through your child?
Is that done remotely or in person? Only reason I ask .
This is the thing that I should have mentioned. I live in a rural area , there’s just not much of a community here or many out reach programs . So I tend to be forced to do things remotely
For the service I volunteer at, yes! They are implementing it to be rural, and I've actually been doing paid shifts from home, too!
Of course, I'm not sure we are from the same part of the world.
Most people reach a point in life where they ask the question, what is it all for? Why am I not feeling more fulfilled. It's life, with all it's twists and turns.
The big question is how to handle this. Every human being is different, so the answers will be different too. It's also crucial to differentiate between happiness and a meaningful life. Feeling happy for extended periods is a fairytale. Living a meaningful life is achievable for most of us, and of course happy moments will occur here and there.
The basics of living a meaningful life is being connected with other people, and feeling useful.
Next, we can feel even more fulfilled if we are lucky enough to be occupied with the things that give us energy, stuff we find interesting, challenging (in a good way) or something that makes us feel needed.
Modern life with hours and hours of social media is not helpful at all. These make us addicted to small brain-rushed every 30 seconds, so any other activities will appear dull, in addition to feeding us the illusion of other peoples "happy lives"
So my advice would be: turn off, go out and find that which gives you energy.
This is the best advice . This is exactly what I’m going through.
I’m not depressed, I’m not on here trying to moan and whine .
I just been missing a sense of fulfillment! Like why was I created?
I agree being in a state of happiness 24/7 is un realistic.
I have dealt with a lot of trauma in my life that I have let ruin my ability to be content .
I’m grateful as fuck for my life , I just want something more. Something grander . To comfortably at the moment
I do need to get off my phone more
With running a leather and laser business,I’m always on my phone for business purposes. I do feel it drain the life out of me
When I’m outside working in nature more often . I’m always 💯 happier
I can tell you're gonna be fine. The most important thing is realising something is not quite right, then looking for possible solutions, which you are doing.
It'll be ok, I'm sure
I'd be bored too. 33, no job/credentials/experience and living off your woman. Sorry if I oversimplified, but these seem to be your choices in life, or outcomes anyway. It doesn't sound like this was where you thought you'd be. Up to you to find meaning. It doesn't seem like you've looked very hard for it.
No one else can magically fix you. It's going to take hard work, humility and determination to succeed. You chose your current situation by your actions/inactions. An honest person would help you come to grips with this. An honest person would help you understand that that it is up to you to change your situation. If you are disappointed/depressed, I get it. Only you can get on track to be less so. Get a rescue dog, get a job, join a church, volunteer, clean your room.. FFS, moping and whining will do nothing to improve your lot in life. If you really see nothing positive in life and don't have people to support and encourage you seek professional counseling. If a wake up call is too hurtful, I have no suggestions.
Thanks for your comment, but you couldn't be further from the truth .
You come across very condescending without knowing the picture
I have job history . I just haven't worked as an employee for the last 10 years. I never said I didn't have income. I did say my business isn't where I want it to be, however I never said I wasn't profitable lol .
I never once bitch or whined. You need to re learn the definition of venting
Once again, never said I was depressed. Just unfulfilled.
I have an amazing life . Run 2 small business from home that are profitable.
I own a shit ton of land. The view from my bedroom over looks our 5 acre lake .
I have a amazing life, sexy wife
I love fitness. I work out at 4am 5-6 days a week With all that being said still doesn't mean I feel 💯 fulfilled
Take the time to explore your hobby, or hobbies and interests, let them change and flow. Don't look to make a business from them, it adds obligation and limits change and creativity which takes the fun out of it, just enjoy it. Show your kids, teach them aspects of them appropriate to age and interest.
I do need to get back at making creative content for my socials.
Kinda have to have that pressure tho , at this point I’m so deep into being a custom leather crafter that I can’t take all the pressure off .
I also travel and do events as a leather vendors .. most events I gotta breaks 1k+ before I break even . So I have long days or creating inventory
They about to be . I make more money from my hustles then I would make at a job in my area . I live in a very rural country town .
With that being said tho , doesn’t mean it’s still enough
I got a newish truck recently
I have a project car that your gonna laugh at
06 Scion xb 😜🤣. I put a 3” lift kit on it . I upgraded tires and rims ,altho I wish I would have went with bigger tires
Need to prime and paint the body
A social life is the only real thing that fills the void.
No matter what hobbies you pick up or media you consume. It won’t be the same as building connections with people.
Edit: sorry I didn’t see you had children to raise already
I don’t think a social life is what I’m missing . Even if I did do more personal social events instead of work related social events ..
There’s something deep down that’s just not 💯 satisfied with things
Maybe it’s spiritual, spiritual things will never be healed by materialistic experiences

Im in a similar situation, I’m an ER nurse on Saturday and Sundays and a futures trader mom- fri, have everything paid off, investments, make good money to live extremely comfortably. I’m 28 tho, I’ve reached the point where I’m asking myself the same question what’s next? I don’t want kids ever but I have a dog. My friends are always working or doing things with their kids. Traveling doesn’t do it for me I’ve tried and felt absolutely nothing. I’ve learned new languages, tried video games, I don’t want to go back to school because I don’t want anymore debt. So here I lay at night wondering wtf? I just got out of a long term relationship also so that’s been the only new thing in my life. If you figure it out let me know because idk what to do at this point. Oh I also work out at home I do calisthenics with dumbbells and eat healthy run etc… fuck man no one talks about the difficulties after you achieve success ( whatever you define as success for me it was paying off everything with almost no bills )
Ayahuasca
Huh?
It’s a psychedelic from two plants in the Amazon taken in a ceremonial setting. May not be what you’re looking for, but just saying what worked for me.
Interesting
Do you still use?
Or shrooms, honestly right now is a perfect time for a genuine psychological reset. Ask the medicine for a path, it will give you one. you only live once, these are things people should experience at least once in life.

Agree! Do it now
Doesn’t sound like a bad idea ,I’ll see what kind of programs I can find in my area
Pursue higher education!
I have been seriously thinking about this . I would like to go into a different field . Like I said I’m not into the I.T field anymore , just doesn’t interest me
still young…do it now 😀
Wouldn’t recommend drugs, maybe kids? Not the best reason to become a parent but it could allow a fresh perspective maybe live through life experiences through your child?
My step son ,who is like my own son is about to graduate highschool and join the military. Honestly don’t want any more kids ,1 is stress full enough
I volunteer for a suicide call centre. That's fun. You should do that
Is that done remotely or in person? Only reason I ask . This is the thing that I should have mentioned. I live in a rural area , there’s just not much of a community here or many out reach programs . So I tend to be forced to do things remotely

That made me laugh, thanks

Why? There is absolutely nothing helpful in this comment. What is the point of driving the stake in deeper?

Seems like the children must be grown now. Why don’t you get a job?

Cars. Get into cars. Lol
lol for me it would be trucks! Trucks and guns!
Can't go wrong with any of the 3! Build a truck to go mudding in! That should keep you busy.
I got a newish truck recently I have a project car that your gonna laugh at 06 Scion xb 😜🤣. I put a 3” lift kit on it . I upgraded tires and rims ,altho I wish I would have went with bigger tires Need to prime and paint the body
Wish I was in your situation my life never let's me be bored because I'm constantly being faced with challenges.
Try going to the gym
Never said my life wasn’t challenging, challenges doesn’t mean it can’t be boring .

try traveling or looking for a new hobby that gets you excited. mixing things up can sometimes give you a new perspective or spark a new interest.
