I feel lost. How do I find my purpose.

I feel so lost. Spending Saturday Sunday at room. Dont know what to do. My work no longer attracts me. Why should I keep working? What else I can do beyond weekday work to make my life more fullfilled and complete? Life wasn't this bad, it started when I moved from India to Holland for my work. Should I leave work and go back? I dont know what I'll do after going back. I dont see any purpose in my life anymore. I dont have any definite goals. I can't prioritize important things in life? What is important in life? How do I get myself out of this bed, feel happy and get myself to do something?

It's silly but i get out of bed to brush my teeth. I set a routine and keep going from there. I tell myself it has to get done and i do it. Sometimes life is just a routine, but if you need to get back meaning think about something crazy you never did before. Dancing, climbing mount Everest. Maybe you don't need to move back to india but make a trip ? Get a vacation ? Being happy is random, but you wont be if you just stay in your room. So get out of it take a walk, and find out what makes you happy ^_^

Inam here in holland since May2016. My collegues took summer vacations but I did not. I just kept working 5days a week 8hours a day sometime work on weekends. Its not because i love work, its because I am afraid I dont have anything else to do and time feels stuck

@FindRyhan: You cannot only work and be happy. You are not feeding your soul. You must find time for happy things in your life. Walks. Games. Developing friendships. Things for your heart! You have made your time drag because you have neglected your soul. Please, stop. Think of what would distract you. I am sure Holland has many lovely things. Museums. Cafes. Libraries. All manner of pleasures. Start small. One thing a day. And work from there. All these people here who reply are trying to help, but only you can improve your mood. Take these ideas and work on it. I have faith in you.

@FindRyhan: I felt like that when i was working. Like i needed to work more to show i'm useful and take more shifts to make sure i did well. Work is good and that you are a hard worker is awesome. But don't forget to enjoy yourself too. Take a vacation to see your family, or even go somewhere else near holland. I agree with poertyNemotion, you should go to an arts museum and just relax find a spot near you to explore.

Make your life simple and then it will become more meaningful. You work for money to pay bills and to keep yourself busy. Why did you come to Holland exactly? Is the work better, pays more, etc.? Reexamine that. Only you may answer what is important in your life. You must develop hobbies. Whatever makes your heart sing is what you should do or pursue or follow. Perhaps you need to create a list. Do some pleasurable things. Do some necessary things like work. Balance in life is difficult. I am still working on that...I wish you well.

Dude, I would prefer to stay in Holland , there's so much to explore.. visit neighboring countries, travel more , meet new people..you don't essentially need a purpose in life, just feel your own presence , your being.. wish I luck and happiness

Develop a hobby, Holland is much better than India as a place to live...I plan to study at Delft or in Eindhoven probably, make the best out of it

I think that you should continue writing your experiences and your feelings. "Writing is easy, writing well is hard work." 8)

Writing for a hobby, if you enjoy it, could turn into a book someday. Many writers are solitary people. 8)

Smoke a blunt and do a night walk.
