Help ! why am I so bored with my life?

Question

Every day to me seems exactly like the one before. I get up, go to work, see the same people on the train, sit at work all day doing the same thing day after day, go home, eat dinner, go to sleep and I repeat the next day. I am married but my husband works nights and we have opposite schedules. I am bored every day. I feel like I am missing out on life. Does anyone else feel this way?

Answer 1

Feeling bored is just life's way of saying its time for change. You are the author of your own life! Being married and working different schedules would be the first thing I'd try to change. We've done it and HATED it.

You need to find way's to do the things you really love to do. That's what life's about. Identify those things and then take action.

Answer 2

I have felt this way in the past. It's really a bummer to have to get up every day and do the same thing, isn't it??

I am one of those people who really thrives on change. I finally organized my life to where I would have a lot of variety, and you should too, if possible. What I did was start my own housecleaning business - so I was in a different house every day, and seeing different people each day, and deciding exactly what time I would go in and what I would do.

It sounds like you just need some more control to follow your own whims and creativity, within reason so you can continue to support your family.

I got a new job working as an intermittent staff person at the health district, and with five locations, that has been interesting too.

You need variety, girl, and you will start feeling lots better! I love my life now, but when I was doing the same thing day in and out, I felt very depressed.

Do you have any enteprenuership ideas you might want to persue????

You are definatley missing out on life! I went through the same thing. Here is what i did.

I did not have extra time, since i am a college student as well as work full time.. BUT i got another part time job. Reason: I wanted to learn something new! I got a part time job working at a ranch where little kids come and go on horse back trail rides. It helped me to be outside, i got to learn about a huge and beautiful animal, and i got to see differnet faces every day, and communicate with new friendly people. I ended up meeting a guy and would rather go on dates with him now, than work. I quit this job a couple days ago but i benefited from it greatly!
Also, i adopted two ferrets. Now, when i come home from my long day of school and work, i have two unique and crazy little animals to play with. I also got to learn alot about ferrets in the process and get to show them off to my friends.

I still get the feeling of standing still while the world continues on around me, but i just make myself look on the bright side, i have a good job, great boyfriend, im going to school.. etc... Thats what you need to do. If its possible, try to make it to where you and your husband have time together, otherwise ya'lls realtionship will lose eventually lose its fire and passion.

Good luck!

Hi

Find something that you enjoy doing . Take up a hobby or go back to school ,get a good book and get lost in the reading of it . Go for a long walk , or excercise .

Yes, I used to feel like you but I did something about it by going back to school .Not having enough time is no longer an excuse . There is so many things you can do to combat the bordem and find a new meaning in your life . Hopefully your husband will support you on what ever you decide to do .

You deserve to be happy in life .

Well, You need to change rutine. Just changing your working schedule or finding a new job might be a good idea but its too drastic. If you and your husband have weekends off then get out of your place and goto a place unplanned. You will love it since you are not going to be get something you are expecting. It will be fun.

Don't watch TV. Instead try getting out more with your husbands or your office friends.

See if you take a bus for a week that could help.

Dont' get used to the computer and internet it will really create trouble in your life if you use it too much cuz u r lonely.

Do things unplanned. Surprise yourself and your husband. like I told you taking a bus for a week could be a good idea if you can do that.

But if you or your husband can change jobs it will be awesome change.

Yes it is an old cliche but you need to get a life. If you don't like what is happening, then love, you need to MAKE something happen. You are obviously on line and that is a great place to start looking. Book clubs, service organizations, crafting, study, second career. The possibilities are endless. If you are unhappy during a certain time period in particular that would be a great time to research the new you. Good luck and seek happiness it is out there but first look within.

I used to feel that way...
I used to drive to work (which was 4 minutes away), see the same 4 other people at work, go back home, cook and clean and go to sleep... my fiance worked nights as well...

Something that changed my lifestyle dramatically was my bf switching shifts... before I used to spend about 4-6 hours a day with him... and some of those hours I spent cooking and cleaning...

Now, we're both there together and we do all the chores together, we finish that faster and we have leisure time...

Answer 8

Time for a hobby, or vacation. You're in a predictable routine, that is causing your emotional rut. Boredom is inevitable time to time, but maybe trying out a new recipe, grabbing a novel, or planning a getaway with the spouse can jazz it up a spell. And maybe it's also time for a new job, one that packs a variety of experiences.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Join a club or get a hobby. See if a group of your friends can have a day out on your day off. Find something you love to do in your spare time and have fun! Good luck!!!

Answer 10

I sometimes feel that way....I try to perk it up a bit by watching DVDs on the weekend, go shopping, spend my lunch hour at a coffee shop and observe people and I reward myself with a vacation every now and then. =D Plan a vacation with your husband sooo you'll have something to look forward to. =)
