I'm at this point in my life...?

Question

I have gotten to a point in my life where I am just sick and tired of life in general. Don't confuse me for suicidal. Thats not what I meant. I mean all I do is sleep and work. I'm always tired. I sleep more than I want to but when I get the amount of sleep I want, it just never seems to be enough. I have been experiencing a loss of appetite, lack of enthusiasm for pretty much everything. Work sucks right now. Social life has gone down the drain. I am sick of fake people. Love life is right behind it. I am sick of womens games.

I just don't give a dam about much anymore. I'm not really suicidal, just extremely apathetic right now.

Is this a normal thing for people to experience? Will this like kidney stones pass?

Don't bother telling me to get help through a suicide support group. I am not going to kill myself. I know me better than you ever will. So if thats the only advice you can give me, don't waste my time or yours.

I suppose I should say I don't want to see a doctor not because I don't want help but because I don't do the whole pill thing. I have once and I will never go back to that "false utopia" pills create.

I also should say that I am not religious I believe in God but claim Agnostic

Answer 1

The apathy, tiredness, and need for sleep you describe are major signs of depression.

Please see a doctor.

Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in your body. it is not your fault. Antidepressant drugs can correct this.

Once you are successfully treated, you will be surprised at how different your perspective is. Things just don't seem so negative anymore, and you will have the psychic energy to deal with your problems more successfully.

It usually takes a few weeks for an antidepressant drug to work. In the meantime, try to get some exercise. It is nature's antidepressant.

Take care.

Answer 2

Life has its ups and downs. You seem to be in a low point. You might want to make sure you are eating right and try to stay positive. Maybe go see your regular doctor so there are no underlying health problems.
Try looking on line for a new job. There are hundreds of search engines.
Try finding a new hobby or something that peaks your interest. Maybe take a class at a local college. Maybe you are in a rut.
Dating will come in time. Not all women play games.
I would try to make a few changes and see how you feel in a few weeks. If things don't seem to change maybe it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor or join some type of support group. Good luck.

Answer 3

I think you just need an attitude change. We all get tired of too much trouble and people who play games (hey--men do it more than women!).

Time to work on yourself; read some good self help books, take up a good hobby, take a trip to a place you've always want to go to, take some classes in college. All of these things will benefit you and introduce you to new people and new experiences.

Lastly, do you believe in God? He has helped me in my life, give Him a try, what have you got to lose?

Answer 4

You sound like you are stuck.
Have you ever tried to write down exactly what you want out of life?
What do you see as your life's purpose?
Sometimes we get stuck when we don't know what we want, and that drains us of a TON of energy, both emotional and physical.
Recognizing that you want a change is healthy.
Recognizing that you are in unfulfilling relationships is the beginning of a new journey.
I wish you all the best!
