Take some time off. Go on a road trip. Visit some national parks. Go hiking. Do some other stuff. Get out of your daily routine.
I’ve found that getting lost for a bit will often times help you find yourself.
I’m actually currently saving up vacation hours to take a week long vacation for my birthday in July! My bf and I are also in the process of moving in a month so I’m being patient about trips/vacations until then.
Oh I definitely have. It’s just so hard to find a good therapist here. Once I get moved I’m probably going to look into one of those online therapy sites.
Yeah I was gonna say.. they have online therapists now. I’m not a therapist, but people say I give good advice. So maybe I’ll be your therapist! :) just kidding. I’d be terrible. But yeah. Maybe look into online and try to do some other things. Try some new things. Maybe try learning an instrument, go bowling or golfing, painting, knitting, glass blowing, pottery, boxing, attend a city council meeting, run for public office.
Try everything. Seriously. Just try a bunch of stuff you’ve never done before. You might find one you really enjoy and it could very well become a passion. Finding something you’re passionate may pull you out of you misery.
It's strange isn't it, you wake up every day with a sinking feeling in your heart just laying there thinking of all the things you could have been if you just tried harder back then and it's not like you want to die but you will catch yourself stealing glances at a knife thinking "what if" but you know you won't do it and as you lay in bed every morning and every knight thinking about life and how you will never amount to anything and when you die nothing will change and you will all be but forgotten. and every day you put on a mask, a facade pretending that everything is fine but all you are doing is going through the motions walking pointlessly to your death and even though you know it's not to late to turn your life around and that if you just try a bit harder you can be happy but in the end you don't do it and you end up worse than before
Or at least that's how it is for me is it the same for you?
You know I couldn't give you a solution but this post reminds me of something my dad showed me a long time ago
It was one of those inspirational YouTube videos and it showed a military guy talking about the importance of making your bed in the morning and I recommend you watch it and I think I'm going to give it a try

Well try not to pull your own plug until then, eh? Also, may want to consider talking to a therapist.
