What does it mean if nothing excites me in my life anymore?

I think it means it’s time for a change. Deeper than physical.

I feel similarly. A few years ago I bought a van and traveled the us full time with my son. It was incredible, but I still wondered where my joy went. And I think it’s growing older and realizing you’re stuck in a redundant cycle that has no end. Even your kids will be subjected to it. School-work- marriage-kids-die. You don’t have enough time or energy left for deeper more personal experiences with yourself. I know I sound crazy but I think that is what those who control our societies want. If we think for ourselves, we won’t support the system that lines their pockets. If we aren’t consumers, working to pay for unnecessary extravagances and the basics that should be a right, we fear what people will think. We fear being outcast.

As an outcast, I can tell you it’s more interesting, but nobody around you will get it. Nobody will share your joy, they’ll be jealous or uncaring.

All I can say is, do some crazy shit.

It could be your age. You could be having a mid life moment. It could be PTSD. Have you fairly recently survived any kind of unexpected, life threatening situation? Are you taking any kind of mood stabilizers or anti anxiety medication? That stuff can flatten you right out. It could be a combination of things.

You need to find an exhilarating activity that's also a bit challenging. That's what usually does it for me. Get the adrenalin flowing. Go take a skydiving lesson or one of those road bike motorcycle lessons where they provide the track and the bike and teach you how to drag your knees through the corners, etc. If you have access to the ocean, go battle some shore break a while until you learn to feel insignificant again .

It could be you're out of challenges with lots of life left to go still

Try joining a volunteering group.

Gardening or decorating old peoples houses.
Join the Samaritans.

Help at a reading group.

Go to a local library for ideas. Or visit a local volunteers agency.

Try to commit six hours a week if you can.

Walk in a park or by the sea daily.
Take up a new hobby.

There are endless possibilities.

A big problem, I would say. Well, unless you don't mind, of course.

You have achieved calmness in you

It means you need new hobbies

it's one sign of depression.

You have grown up

You're bored.
