Does anyone else feel like they just exist?

[Hernamewaslola22]

I feel like I just exist, moving through life, going through the motions. Nothing really makes me happy and nothing really makes me sad. Does anyone else feel like this? How do I stop feeling like this?

I feel like that. Although, I get burst of grief. I'm in a cycle of apath and grief. If I dropped down dead no one would care until they needed a meal or clean clothes.

Very much so. But I take into account my age (52) and the fact that my family has been through an incredibly difficult 3 years which has left not just me but my children feeling kind of like we're living life on 'battery saver mode'. This too shall pass! I hope!
I also think this is an expensive country. It's a bit of a boring country (about to go down in flames for writing this) in that yes, there's lots to do and see, but at a price that isn't affordable to most. You get nothing for your money anymore and we're just supposed to buck up and accept this. There's no other choice, really. Running a household has become, particularly since Covid, extortionate. Yes, there are worse places in the world. We all know that. But having lived in the UK for nearly 30 years, as an outsider (still! After all these years!) looking in, I feel like you have to keep your world very small and rather insular in order to get by.

I don't think the fact that the world is constantly going up in flames, thanks to sociopaths running shit, helps. But humans have been dealing with those bastards since time immemorial. There's always a Hitler clone coming 'round the corner to ruin things globally.

I completely lost the plot today and started to drive my car at a wall, thankfully I snapped out of it.

I've gone past my coping point but people are still piling the pressure on. 2 days of stupid drives unruly kids in a supermarket, rude customers and being shouted at on top of all the other crap broke me. Suspected kidnegnston a couple of weeks ago and sudden refusal of repeat prescription as computer said no adding to the stress.

I'm lucky I was able to get an appointment with my gp and have seen him. I'm suspected of being nd, have been referred form screening and they think I've had a massive overwhelm moment. The 2nd time but more understanding if why this time.

Life's just a bit shit for a lot of people at the moment but hopefully if it is shit for you, you can get some help.

Me too. Getting out of a bad marriage and away from my toxic family was a game changer. I think I had chronic low level depression with the situation. The world's my lobster now.

Are you feeling dissatisfied with something @Hernamewaslola22 ? Do you need to make some changes?
