I need your help, has anyone ever felt that...?

Question

Has anyone ever got up one day and just felt that their life has no meaning, it is just plain and a bore, and there is nothing to look forward to or live for. I am not talking about suicide, because that is extreme, but just that you feel it is not what you really want and you do not know what to do, or how to make it better.

Answer 1

1)First stop thinking of meaning of life; men have thought over the matter for centuries and got different answers which are sometimes contradictory.Some people could not get any answer at all and got frustrated.So unless you want to become a philosopher, stop this futile thinking.
2)Think about your duties to yourself[taking care of body. mind intellect and soul], to your family, to your friends, to your employer, if employed, to your community, to your country etc...Try to do your duties the best way you can within your limits and do not worry about the outcome of your efforts as lot of things in this world are not within your hands and worrying does not help but weaken your mind
3)Pray to God daily at night and tell him what you have done and what you could not do and pray for guidance in all matters.He will show you the way.
4)You have been sent to this world by God to do certain duties[works] and if you do that, He will be pleased Remember that there was no individual ever lived in this world exactly like you, there is no individual living at present exactly like you and there will be no individual exactly like you in future.You are therefore unique and you alone can and should do the duties entrusted to you by your creator.Understanding this responsibility, please do your duties.Doing your duties should be with interest in what you do and not half-heartedly so that life will not be boring

Answer 2

Yes - I feel that way quite often. I never think of suicide either and I wouldn't want to leave my children behind anyway. The only thing that gets me going is feeling passionate about something. I think alot of people go through those slumps and they aren't caused by any one thing, it just happens sometimes.

Use that boredom and not knowing what it's all about to figure it out. You've got to do something to get your brain moving in a different direction. If you keep up with the realism of it all, for that's what it is, you'll start getting diagnosed as depressed and someone will want to put you on medication.

You are simply feeling what I consider to be the most real feeling of all - not knowing anything. That's good, now you can start with a clean slate and start figuring out those questions that are on your mind. (I see things differently. I neither believe nor disbelieve. I'm just one that can admit that I don't know.)

Answer 4

yes i have.... but you have to realize that your life does have meaning...it sounds like you are starting to get depressed...and just make a list of the good things in your life...then try and do things you like...try to keep yourself busy and hopefully this to will pass...if it doesn't you may want to see a doctor for something for depression...that does not mean that you will have to be on it forever either....but i really do know what you mean...i was that way a lot when i was in a very abusive marriage...i was at the point though that i did just want to die...but that is extreme like you said...but i really , truly felt that way....but i had children to raise and i tried to stay with him through that but it ended after 23 years with that man...i just could not take anymore...i am better now, and he is a drunk and with a woman that is a drunk too...so more power to them...i would not want to live like that at all...you might want to think of some reasons that you feel you life has no meaning...because it does...try helping somewhere or do something that can get your mind on something else....

Answer 5

Yes, I've. That's about my broken love. But be happy and cherish every moment. Getting busy and have vacations ... Wish you luck.

You know, love is just like someone waiting for a bus. When the bus comes, you look at it and you say to yourself "eeee...so full...cannot sit down, I'll wait for the next one."

So you let that bus go and wait for the second bus. Then the second bus comes, you look at it and you say, "eeee...this bus is so old...so shabby!" So you let that bus go and again, decide to wait for the next bus.

After a while another bus comes, it's not crowded, not old but you say, "eeee... not air-conditioned ...better wait for the next one."

So again you let the bus go and decide to wait for the next bus.Then the sky starts to get dark as it is getting late. You panic and jump immediately inside the next bus. It is not until much later that you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus!

So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you wanted Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can't ensure that the air-conditioned bus won't break down or whether or not the airconditioner will be too cold for you.

So people... wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you find that the "bus" doesn't suit you, just press the red button and get off the bus (as simple as that) ...

Answer 6

Most people become aware of something important, missing from their lives.. but can't figure out just what it is. They don't feel complete and have no real direction for their life..Which in turn allows them to feel just as you outline. You may want to consider looking into voluteering...allows you to become familiar with others in much worse shape than you imagine yourself to be. Allows a much different prespective on your own life.

To redirect your thinking, sometimes it requires some help. But looking more deeply into yourself and letting your mind become quiet for a bit, may offer new insight into what you need to learn about yourself. It is mostly concerning your innermost self. You allow your mind to keep you at a different level, where this more important part of the mind cannot be utilized.

I will be more than happy to discuss it with you!

Answer 7

Yes - I sure do. All the time. It often stems from a lack of self
esteem, and of course, depression.

Do you have someone to talk to? Counseling may help. Have
you had an event that triggered this? What symptoms are you
having? You know, this is not just an overnight thing - this comes
over time and builds until you feel like you are describing.

Please get some help....

Answer 8

Yes I used to feel like that but now I don't because I found God. The Bible has 836 "happy texts". I feel like if God told us to be happy so many times, then why not be. Read your Bible, actually study it. If you need help, I am here. Your problems are much too small compared to the world's problems. Thank God that you are alive and well. Some of us aren't. God has a plan for you ... things just seem a little cloudy right now. You'll be okay. E-mail me sometime: [e-mail]

Answer 9

There are many, many, many my friend who have felt like that: myself included!! It is a very common thought, though not many would admit to it!!

Your life is your life... what do you like doing? ... What do you want to do? ... Where do you want to be in say, 5 years time?

Ask yourself these questions... then set yourself short, medium, and long-term goals to achieve that which you want… i.e. a new job… a promotion… a new career… to be your own boss… to fly a plane… to jump out of a plane!!!

What ever it is… GO FOR IT!!

Don’t let anyone say ‘YOU CAN’T’… associate with like-minded people, & people who can help you reach your goals!!

In life you have to have an aim… a goal to achieve… as if you aim at ‘Nothing’ your guaranteed to hit it every time… and life becomes a drag!!

Be proud… stand tall… step out… and take life by the horns… Fire UP!! And go for it!!!!

Look up a woman called Jan Ruhe… if you want inspiration… read her story!!!

God bless & keep you!!

Answer 10

yes many times, and I still feel that way some days - I've learned though that if you wake up and and realize that you have so much to be thankful for (your health, family, friends, etc) and if you learn to take life one day at a time that things don't seem nearly as bad. I also know that people on here get so sick of people preaching about God but it was when I really accepted God into my life that I learned to face the day and things started off being better for me - I confided all of my fears into Him and He took care of me and I'm able to face each day better and better now
