What do u do when u don't feel anything?

I feel like I have no purpose, even though I have a life plan and I'm going on it as I have it on paper, but I feel discouraged and not my usual self.
Also I've been a lot more social these past few days. I was always kind of a loner. Could that have an impact? Idk I feel somewhat unwell.

Things have a way of working themselves out. We just have to allow things to flow through us. It can get uncomfortable and confusing, this is normal. Just don't try to force things just allow what ever happens to happen.

@curiosi Idk what to do. I don't have an anchor in my life, maybe that's my issue. I don't have a family of my own, was never close to my parents, had one best freind but we parted ways a long time ago because he was bad for me. Now I have "friends" to go out sometimes, but I don't think they are people to really count on. Had a gf only once and that was 6 years ago. Don't have pets. What else could be an anchor?

@Dan193 I'm sorry, I know the feeling. Everything in my life was ripped out from under me. It felt awful, but eventually I learned that I only needed myself.

@Dan193 You could try a therapist,didn't really work for me but it works for some people,I might give it a shot eventually again.

@curiosi it's hard living that way.
@passingby8 I think those are expensive. I'm gathering money for something else right now - have to be economical.

@Dan193 I don't know if your in the US or not but I here it can be unless you have insurance that's why I was able to see one.You could try meeting new friends or joining a support group.

@Dan193 I know how hard it is, and many a time I didn't think I would make it. But I am stronger because of it. You just wake up one day and know it's ok. It's surreal I know.

@curiosi Maybe I need to get closer to God. I noticed I haven't been praying much these past 5 months. And went to church only once - on Easter. Maybe that's my anchor and I just pushed it in the background.
@passingby8 Not in US, but support groups that's an interesting thought. Howeverthey're depicted kind of crazy in movies or stalkerish.

@Dan193 I think that is an excellent idea. When God wants us to move in him he makes us uncomfortable and often isolates us. I don't go to church myself but, I spend a lot of time in nature. Sit quiet and listen.

@Dan193 You could just look for an online one too..Actually I think some groups on here are kinda support groups.

@passingby8 I don't usually think of SW as a support group, however I do feel much better right now. Maybe I just needed to talk about my feelings to somebody, as I couldn't open up to anyone in my real life.
@curiosi I like laying in the backyard tanning, however it's mostly cloudy here, but when we get some sun and I'm home alone, it's a beautiful day. Kind of makes me feel more confident too.
