Have you experienced the feeling of being lost, confused and unmotivated to do anything but cannot figure out why?

Lately I feel that I just want to lay in bed and sleep. I don't want to do the things which I used to enjoy or be happy with what I got. I don't know if I am having an identity or mindset crisis or is this a phase of life we go through once as we grow older and realise I am not the same person as yesterday.

I've been feeling the same way for a few months. I'm bored with life, and nothing interests me.

I think it has to do with getting older and realizing there's not much to look forward to.

@MsSwan You could be onto something. My birthday is tomorrow and that could be a factor of my feeling.

MsSwan

@Philasefer It could be. Try to have a happy birthday, though. 🙂 At least for one day.

@MsSwan Yeah I will try. I hope you are trying to be happy also

MsSwan

@Philasefer Thank you, I keep trying and have hope that it will get better.

@MsSwan I would like to know how you are trying to be happy. Any tips?

MsSwan

@Philasefer Well, yesterday I went to a park and walked along a trail for about half an hour. It was a nice day and I figured it was better than just sitting around doing nothing. It did make me feel a little better to get out and get some exercise. I've always heard that exercise can help.

Other than that, I'm just trying to be thankful for what I have and just try to "be" in the moment and accept how I feel for the time being. I also come here for laughs. There's some pretty funny people here.

MsSwan

@Philasefer I think it will do you some good.
