I 'm unsatisfied all the time. (age 45)?

Question

I often get get depressed. I'm on medication. I 'm currently practising Tai chi. I couldn't spend money it makes me feel guilty. I 've totally lost interest in sex.Being an asthmatic (i do manage it now with inhalers) mood swings 90% dullness with 10% acute joy(even when there is nobody and nothing special) make me bit crazy.

Answer 1

That seems to be the general way our society feels. listing the problems will not help. Basically what you need is an attitude adjustment to be grateful for what you have. Making a daily gratitude list has helped many people I know. Each day add at least one thing to be grateful for to the list, without repeating anything from a previous entry. Start out with a few basics, Roof over my head. food in my belly. Computer available to learn from, being alive. No matter how difficult life is, there is always someone else who has it worse yet accepts it better.

I have a friend who has terminal cancer. He has learned to accept it. He lives 1 day at a time. I have other, minor health problems not as bad as his; something to be grateful for. I have an old beater for a car, while others do not rven have a bicycle. Get the picture? If you believe in prayer, pray to be shown what to have gratitude for. Ask old people who seem to be content what they value in life the most' It is not usually not their toys, but their experiences, love, acceptance, helping others, & people or a pet that make them happy & content.

If you do this everyday, your outlook on life will gradually change for the better. It takes time, so keep it up til it happens for you. Often friends notice the difference before we do.

Good luck. the little things are really the richness of life. And I was well over 50 before I began to learn this lesson. It is not too lare for you

Answer 2

I am almost 44 and I am very happy with my life, when I was younger, there was another word for this, it was called "ungrateful" maybe you need to re think what you have said here, it makes you sound a bit like a spoilt child who cant have everything he wants and when he gets it he isn't happy with it. I am satisfied that I have my life, I almost died 2 years ago with cancer, I had a huge Operation and treatment and now I have my life back, I can grow old and see my children grow up, you should be happy with what you have got, there are many out there who have got a lot less than you and would give anything for what you have, so stop moaning and get on with your life.

Answer 3

This is pretty vague! Are you unsatisfied career-wise, romantically, sexuallly...what?

First, make a list of the things bugging you and try to get help with those, even if it's short-term therapy. If you're a guy, age 45 is the usual time when "mid-life crisis" hits, also (it's earlier for women, I think). Evaluate where you are and what you'd like to do in addition or instead....

Answer 4

Maybe your expectations are set too high,I personally find the positives out of every situation hence keeping the negatives at bay.
This keeps you relatively satisfied because you attract positive ppl around you plus cheers others up.

If it is sexually then seek medical help as often a change in attitude is all that is needed as said the biggest sexual organ we have is the brain, so get that right all else follows..cheers

Answer 5

Then get a hobby, or start working out. At 45, you are still YOUNG and can do many things. But you have to go out and find something that you enjoy. Living out an unsatisfactory life is noones fault but your own... You can ONLY control your own actions..... So if you KNOW you are unsatisfied... Do something about it! Enjoy life... Tomorrow May never come, but you still have today!

Answer 6

That's not in the form of a question. What is your question?

"Why are you unsatisfied all the time"?

Without more information I couldn't tell you. It could be menopause, depression, or a number of other things. Give me more information and I might be able to provide some insight.
