Showering and eating helped with the sadness 😌

I still don't know where to go from here though, today or more long term. Something is missing from my life, but I don't know what. Every time I encounter something that feels like it might be fulfilling, it quickly turns into disappointment.

Whenever I think of a new hobby, I either run into complications that make it more frustrating than fun, or it gets boring after a few days. When I see a new message in my inbox here, people tend to log out after 5 minutes and/or after a while we just start to repeat the same topics.

Anything that made me satisfied in the past no longer does, so I don't know what to look for or work towards, which makes me feel rather hopeless and powerless. 😕

I can relate to that. When times are difficult or when I feel like nothing makes sense, it is hard to believe that it is possible to feel better. For me it helps to tell myself to just keep going on and it will get better. I have hobbies and listen to a lot of audio books. I try to go outdoors as much as possible. I eat healthy and notice that I feel better since I quit eating sugar. I learn a language on Duoling and that gives me little boosts of accomplishment. Try to think of anything that you enjoy and do as much of that as you can.
