Have you ever gotten to a point in your life where you don’t know what you want anymore? What did you do about it?

Question

With everything that’s been happening in my life lately , losing loved ones , getting laid off of jobs , dealing with injuries , etc.. I feel so lost and confused , For a long time , I use to thrive and be happy and content , enjoying life best way I could and , smiling as much as possible , but these past few years has turned my world upside down , to the point I don’t know what I want anymore, and I honestly do not know what to do , I feel like I tried every alternative but it does t last. The things I always enjoyed doing ,? doesn’t really faze me anymore as much. A lot of times I feel like I am faking it then actually really enjoying it. I’m not suicidal but at times I just feel like saying Fuck it all and start my life over somewhere else. and act like this part of my life never happened. But for me
To do that I have to let go of a lot of things. Things that I worked my ass off for , things that I invested a lot of time into , I also have to let go of my kids’ that depend on me , even though they are adults now , they still need me until they can be on their own 2 feet. Have you ever felt this way and what did you do about it?

I am wondering if you would let God help you 🙏 🙏 🙂. You sounded like you are at rock bottom and when that happens... all you can do is look up and ask for God to intervene for you through knowing Jesus as your personal saviors.
That's what I did when I was at a very low point in my life and didn't know what was going to happen to my baby and myself. So I asked Jesus to become my personal savior and to live inside my heart.
Right after I did that and prayed for them to help me - I got the help I needed. Of course I still had to hold down a job once I found one and I did find one! One prayer 🙏 answered.
Since my ex stole my car I bought even before I knew him - I didn't have any money but my apartment manager told me about this church to go to. There was a married couple there. They said "We have 2 cars and you have none so we are giving you one of our cars free.
Another prayer 🙏 answered.
I needed a babysitter to watch my son while I was working and the lady watched him for me and barely charged me anything and she fed him too. Third prayer 🙏 answered!!
God and Jesus took care of us and still do to this day.
That's what I did...

Finchie do not let yourself believe you are lost in life…. To be honest, everyone is one person, friend, relative, parent, sibling, significant other, spouse…. Any type of person we leaned on for support to really flip our worlds around.

Keep in mind no one on here will be honest about their current “life status”… I think we all are going through something and what you need is find some peace in your mind.

Social media is not going to really help much either. I think you should seek some support group, I think it helps.

I wish you well finchie. Regardless of differences in opinion, I know you will get past this. Your family will always need you. Cheers

Based on your description, then yep I already experienced a depressive phase as well. Sometimes called existential crisis. I had to acknowledge it first, after that it's been a long trip figuring out  where my agency is  and what are the things that I can only endure. There's also this big part about facing life decisions and see if they worked out or if it's time to revise things, a lot of things, maybe everything I did?

I had this. Also result of getting laid off+major relationship ending. I do believe it is low level depression as it can be marked by apathy, doesn’t need to be suicidal.

What worked for me is I took my savings and went to live abroad on an island for a few months. Doesn’t have to be forever and you don’t have to abandon everyone, just get away for a long time. It took months but my spark has returned and now I swear the colours seem brighter again. Yh I wasted a few thousand but I will earn it back, pick somewhere cheap and beautiful + find some expat/nomad communities there. Get into fitness if you can.

Yes, I have. I read Ecclesiastes and realized how unimportant all of those things really are in life. 💕

Nope, I have always known what I wanted and how to get it, but all good things take time.  Rebuild and re-focus.
