Have you ever felt empty and out of passion in your late 20s?

Currently, I am feeling a bit stuck.
I got a good work, try to exercise more, try communicating more with friends, and plan some exams/certification that will help me with my career — but I have this sinking feeling that I can’t rid off and makes me just want to spiral out of control.

I got no problem making my friends a bit happy when they feel this way. But can’t seem to make myself better.

Growing up, I never had a firm education on mental health — I’m contemplating into going to therapy or something (like should I go to psychologist and have them examine me? Or is it a psychiatrist I should be consulting?… really unsure).

I want to help myself, to not feel empty, to feel passionate about something, be motivated.. however, these past few days, I’ve been feeling so dysfunctional… Like I need someone to just drill some sense into me… or tell me what to do.

I don’t wanna end up like my uncle who just spiraled out of control and off himself. Or my father who went all bipolar on us — hurt us emotionally.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you..

Talk to someone, preferably a professional therapist. It may help, it’s worth a try.

@Ghostinthemachine yes - I am planning to .. maybe next month. I’m still thinking.
@stayfickle good. The sooner the better. And it doesn’t have to be a long term commitment. Just try it and see. Also it has to be the right fit for both of you, so you may want to try different therapists

@Ghostinthemachine got it. Thank you for the advice - there’s a psychologist that offer mental health examination and therapy near me. I’ll grab that.
@stayfickle good, and good luck
