Im 29, and just tired of my life. I'm female, been divorced for 4 years, i've pretty much given up on men. I go to work, come home, sometimes go to the gym, sometimes do nothing. I hung out with friends sat and sun night...i just feel incredibly unfulfilled. I"m in a masters program (meets once a week) and i'm SO not into it. I have all these ideas on what i want to do, but i dont do any of it! I just do what i have to do to get by. Ive been feeling really dismayed about life...i feel like i have no purpose!! Does anyone else feel this way??

well i'm glad it's not just me. I walked into work today and just felt mad. Mad that i had to sit at my desk for 8 hours again when i'd rather be on a road trip, mad that i had to see the same fake people again, etc. I just feel like everyday is the same. I went to italy this past summer, you'd think that would have helped, btu it didnt! it's just made me want to see more, but i cant with my job...i'm also not rich.

I think we all get down like this at some point in our lives. Maybe you should start to do things you normally wouldnt. Mix things up a bit. Email me, would luv to talk to you.

You are just feeling depressed and discouraged. You can do one of several things. Change is a good thing, and especially a change of scene. Are you nearly finished with your master's degree or do you have a lot left to go? It sounds like if you are working on your masters that you have been in school for a long time and you might be experiencing some burnout. ( I went to college for 5 years straight, took a lot of hard classes and totally burned myself out). Don't give up on men, there are good ones out there and if you act optimistic and have a positive attitude, you are much more likely to attract a nice man. If you seem depressed and negative, no man will really feel the urge to get to know you any better because its offputting. Don't despair, 29 is still very young. Do you want children someday? Make a list of your goals and of what positive things you have to offer to this world. I was in a bit of a funk a couple of years ago and now I'm a healthcare professional and have a beautiful little girl and great husband. Life can really change, you have to make it happen though.
Best wishes

Join the club! I have been married for 4 years with 3 children and couldnt be more bored myself. I feel empty and just wish something could be done about that. I too have a career and devoluge myself in my work. When you find the answer here on yahoo! let me know what it is so that I can do the same! The state of the world is just so effed up right now and its almost like whats the point. For every positive move I make it has 3 negative reactions. I just make sure that my kids are happy at all times, thats the least I can do.

I feel this way all the time... They put me on medication. It helps a little. I wish I had an answer, but I don't. Mostly, I just ignore this feeling and keep on going. I think it helps if you have something you feel passionate about. Not necessarily a relationship, but anything - work, some cause, creative expression, whatever. I get into modes when I become intensely interested in something, and it may go on for quite a while; but then the interest wanes, and I start feeling empty again. Don't "give up" on men. But you do have to pick yourself up before you can hope to find a good relationship. Consider seeing a mental health professional and getting evaluated for depression. Good luck.

You are too into yourself. Get out and start doing things for other people without expecting anything in return. Volunteer at a hospital or old folks home if you can't find anyone to do things for. There are a lot of lonely people there who would love a visit from you. Treat others like you want to be treated. Be kind, caring, giving, selfless, tolerant, patient, understanding, sharing, slow to anger and quick to forgive.

Your missing that one ingredient for LIFE. God. Try picking up the Holy Bible and start reading the New Testament. You can talk to God anytime, invite Him in and ask Him to give you understanding. You will never ever be unfulfilled again. Guarantee!!!

We all feel like that from time to time- You need something to get you out of the rut. I completely understand what you mean. When I get that way, I seem to sink myself into work more. Although, I usually think...."I need a hobby" Something to think about.

i think everyone every once in awhile thinks that way. If it is for a long time then I suggest you seek help with a Dr.

i can relate to that, but find something that you love, ever tried travelling, pretty awesome. Be warned about when you get back it can soon become very depressing.
