Answer 1

i can relate to your outlook, i feel the same way, i do the same things every day, over and over. i think we are just plain bored with our lives, i am retired also and i miss working sometimes, but yet i know that we all go through different stages of life, and i think this is just another stage we're going through. since i retired i thought well i can finally do the things that i always wanted to do but couldn't because of work and raising my kids. now i'm not working and the kids are grown and gone and for over a year i still haven't figured out what i want to do. the internet keeps me pretty occupied, thank God for it, hope things get better for you if you like stay in touch bye for now

Answer 2

I'm not sure if everybody feel this way a lot. However, I certainly do.
I empathize with you and your feelings of being lost, etc. At times, I attribute it to a certain ennui ... however, I remain unclear from where this feeling stems.
I'm younger, disabled ... was working, in graduate school and had lots of friends ... which seem to have fallen away as I left the world of work and school.
I do find that when I find something that does spark my interest, even if only for a day here or there, I feel more like my "normal" self and have some hope that things will change.
Perhaps you are grieving the life you lived for all those years as a working person?
I sometimes do. It's a much different experience to have somewhere set to go everyday (like that sitcom "Cheers") like work ... where people are expecting you, needing you do to this or that ... versus being retired. It's a rough transition, in my humble opinion.
I listen to people who say they can't wait to retire, and in the back of my head I think oh, you might not like it so much with so much time to fill with no where really to go day after day - the only person who is expecting you to show up everyday is you and it's an odd experience.
I do the same, volunteer when I can, find outings to go to around town, am actually beginning to study birds as I see them (learn what they are, etc ...) in attempts to not have this feeling.
I hope this helps you in knowing you are not alone. At least not from this keyboard. I'm sorry you're experiencing this, it's not a pleasant experience whatsoever.
I do hope that you find this feeling passes, sooner rather than later, because life certainly is glorious and there are so many amazing things to do and see.
Be well.

Believe me I understand. My husband and I between us have been married 2 years. He has had 4 surgeries and 3 trips to the ER by ambulance. I had a simple surgery that caused nerve damage and more impairments.
I was feeling good until I retired and now I am depressed and don't want to leave home. (I take depression meds)
You seem to be single and alone. Did you ever try one of the dating sites? It could pass your time and give you some hope and encouragement. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 4

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I do the same job day in day out. It's only by looking at the calender I know what day of the week it is and I cross yesterday off every morning. It would be nice if we could step through a door into an alternate universe and have some fun!!!

Answer 6

"...i have been here before,
but when or how i cannot tell:
i know the grass beyond the door,
the sweet keen smell,
the sighing sound, the lights around the shore...."

"...fame failed me:
faith failed me:
and now this also...the hope that i nourished in this my generation of men...shall pass from me, and leave my feet and my hands groping.
yet because of this are my feet become slow and my hands thin. i am as one who, through the whole night, holding his way diligently, hath smitten the steel unto the flint, to lead some whom he knew darkling;
who hath kept his eyes always on the sparks that himself made, lest they should fail;
and who, towards dawn, turning to bid them that he had guided god speed, sees the wet grass untrodden except of his own feet...."
