longlegzs80 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I know I have posted new threads on this topic for quite some time. I am having a really difficult time, figuring it out though. I look at others and it seems like they are content with their lives, its almost like they found their calling and know their direction. I can't seem to find mine and it scares me alot. I'm 26, and unhappy, lonely, and uncertain as to what I want, how to set goals and accomplish, just making something out of myself instead of floating. Tomorrow I am going to call some therapists, to see if I can schedule an appointment, because it has come to the point where I can't help myself anymore. I need help.

You think everyone is content with their lives? You couldn't be more wrong, Longlegz80. It's human tendency to wallow in misery (and love doing it). If a person had everything he wanted, chances are strong that he'll be complaining to the tune of "I don't know what to do with myself...it seems like I have everything". Things are never good enough, there's always the need for more. As far as finding your path and purpose in life goes...that's a question that intrigues me, too. I wonder about it often. But I've also noticed that when I'm feeling low, this thought gets magnified even more. Probably because at those times, I'm confused and I don't know what to do to make things better. When I'm in a better mood, I'd probably give myself a smart-alecky answer - that my purpose in life is to do all the necessary stuff to keep myself alive. Ultimately, it's all about survival, right? In the end I'll die, and I honestly don't know now what I'd be thinking then. See a therapist about your feeling low, if you want. Hopefully, it will help you. What the therapist will not be able to help you with, is what you do once you step out of their office. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because at those times, I'm confused and I don't know what to do I'm exactly the same. Sometimes you just have to take the plunge, and force yourself to do something new and exciting. To remind yourself that life is worth living - if only for the bits in-between the mundanity. So... give anal sex a try. You won't regret it. Well, maybe later. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I may have unraveled the true meaning of all your anal talk. It's everything to do with the brain. Not the a**. I think I'm in love with you, Pinky. Link to post Share on other sites

But still, Pinky is very lovable (in his own way). Actually, he has three brains, a little one, a big one and a third one somewhere else. I find the big brain the one with the most potential for being interesting and lovable. Link to post Share on other sites

I need help. longlegzs80 since you mentioned part of my name lonelybird, I think I have to post. It is true that finding your destiny is finding happiness. I don't know if you know Jesus? I am not trying to shovel anything, if you think it is good for you, then take it, if not or you believe in other things, then ignore this post. A story from Bible. One time Jesus met a woman beside a well, the woman jump man from man to find that happiness, but she never did find. those men she was with could not make her heart satisfied. then one day Jesus met her at the well, and said to her "I am the living water, if you drink me, you will never thirsty". then the woman finally found the true happiness. If you pray to God to enter your heart, you will find that kind true happiness and purpose as well. He will lead you into your destiny and true happiness. HE did it for me, and HE did it for uncountless people, HE will do it for you too. HE loves you, and care about you. Best wishes:) Link to post Share on other sites

EricOnTheWeb Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi there,Longlegz80. I have not much advice,but I do relate to how you feel right now.. I've too gone to therapy,and it does help....Right now I'm dealing with the loneliness I had/have and my therapist is now doubling as my dating instructor lol... I never had the confidence to date because I never felt good enough..I always thought I would waste someones life. In Recent years I've found out what I've been missing in my life and I became extremely lonely over it... Having someone to talk with is a GOOD idea! I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. Yes,go to therapy and hunt around for someone that you're comfortable with.. I'm happy with the guy that I talk to,we even go to the sub shop together now lol.. Right now he is boosting my confidence to try and date... It does help and I feel like I may be asking this girl I like if she wants to go out some night....Just hope she likes going to dirt races,beacause I'm not much for the dinner and movie kind of thing lol I'll be nervous as heck so being at the races will help me transition into my dating life.....or not...lol.. I told you this because therapy IS working for me...and it can work for you. You'll feel much better to get this out with someone you can see. I tried using forums such as this for "therapy" and it is good for advice on what to do,but talking with someone face to face is the thing you need in order to discover your feelings. Start doing a hobby that you like or just go outside and play in the dirt or something lol....That works to. Just wanted to say that you're not the only one feeling this way,good luck and keep us posted (Eric) BTW,Pinky...were you part of LYC? Someone named Pinky use to be there..just wondering.

Pinky = Magichands/Tragicglands/Pelagicsands. (Also, I suspect, Jesus). It's just my way of addressing him. PINKY, ARE YOU IGNORING ME??? Link to post Share on other sites

crosswordfiend Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Did the therapist help? Honestly, what you pose is a very difficult question and it took me a while before I had a sense of which direction I wanted to take in life. And of course I fully expect this to evolve as the years pass. Are you willing to share some details of your current state? What activities do you enjoying doing, and what sorts of people do you enjoy spending time with? I do know that organized religion is not the answer. If at all, it's a tranquilizer. You end up spending all of your time deluding yourself into a purpose until the purpose becomes the purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
