Am I mentally disturbed if I am not full of live?

Question

I am 22 and it's true that I had a few issues lately, things didn't work as planned, but I am in a very beautiful relationship and I get the feeling I don't make the best of it and I don't fully enjoy it as I should. What can I do to make myself like life. It's not like I am very unhappy, or sick, or lonely..but I feel like I am tired, tired of living in a way. I am no suicidal type, but I wish I enjoyed my life more, since I am aware of the blessings I have. Anyone ever felt this way? sounds a little retarded, but to me it's a big deal..

Answer 1

Mentally disturbed doesn't sound right. Maybe you are just missing your calling right now. Sometimes it takes alot to break away from doubt and to do the things you need to do to enjoy life.

I think this happens to alot of people.

Answer 2

It's not retarded, and apathy about your own life is a big deal.

If you're not experiencing any specific problems right now that are bringing you down, then perhaps you just need to feel more productive. Nothing makes life more exciting than when you feel you have purpose.

Some suggestions: Take up a hobby, participate in a local sports league (it doesn't have to be physically taxing - try golf, darts, shooting, archery, or something like that), volunteer your time somewhere (animal shelter, old age home, whatever). Does your significant other already have a hobby or interest in which you might participate?

Basically, find something to do with your free time that you really look forward to doing. It will really make a huge difference.

Answer 3

We cannot all be the life of the party all the time. I think you need to re-evaluate your expectations of life. Stop watching tv, life isn't like that....Some things don't always work out, they aren't meant to. But you sound like what you do have is more than a great many people enjoy. Make a practise of counting your blessings, make yourself aware at all times of the good things in your life...if you are tired, take a vacation, then get back into the business of living your life.

Answer 5

I think everyone goes through times when life isn't quite what they want it to be. If there is a way to get some of the things you believe are lacking with out messing up the wonderful things that you do have than go for it. If not you are going to have to make some new goals that excite you but are more in line with where you are in your life now. People tend to focus on one set of goals and then when it doesn't work out they think there total life is a failure. They forget we need to adjust our goals as we go along. It is important to have things in life that mean something to you.

Answer 6

It sounds like you are tired of a daily routine, and if that's true, then your definitely not mentally disturbed. Try new things, join a club, whatever you want to do to mix up your life. That should make life interesting and when life is interesting, then you love it even more.

Answer 7

hell girl we are disturbed a bit. Don't worry about it..

When you think about others more then yourself you'll get out of the funk. I'm 48 and have felt like that quite a few times.

Do a gratitude list. Count 10 things daily to be grateful for.

Answer 8

just look at life a different way, not in your foggy annoyed or what ever you feel sort of way. when plans go wrong..they go wrong. too bad so sad. what can you do? nothing


but make the best out of it. dont make such a huge deal out of it like its the end of the world. Iv felt that way also. but you get past it. just refresh yourself, talk to some friends. RELAX. watch some tv. theres no point in stressing yourself out.

Answer 9

I think we all go through that at one time or another. At one point in time I read the book Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. (I know this sounds cheesy) It reminded me of all the little things I loved to do and how to carve out time for them in my life. (i.e., reading in bed with a cup of hot tea,or a hobby that I hadn't done in years, or going on a surprise picnic with my husband) Believe it or not, it really helped me.

You can also make a list of all the things you are wanting to do and then seriously work toward achieving one in a set amount of time. (Make sure you are realistic with your time frames.)

I think the most important thing is to remember that this will pass and it does not last forever.

Good luck to you!!
