Anybody Else Feel Dead Inside?

[Gloxina]

Aside from dealing with uncertainty, I think overall I’m pretty happy. I’m just a dude in some random part of the world doing what I think is right. If you ever find yourself in an existential crisis, just listen to the wise words of solid snake:

Damn I see why y’all play these games so much.
They dropped some gems in these things

You feeling dead inside?

More like going through the motions. The passion I felt for my career has been destroyed. I feel bad because the quality of my care is going down, but at this point, I can't even feign interest in what I'm doing. My Dad/older black men in general tell me that this is normal and they all experienced it too at some point, but I still can't get used to it.

Push through that slump, it happens to everyone. With me it usually happens between Late November and mid-January.

I hate coming back and rereading this thread

Yes! Seasonal depression really is a thing. I was super ignorant and didn’t take it seriously until I realized I was going through it myself. I have boundless energy in the spring, etc, but winter I’m different

I'm at that point where everything is draining. My job. My home life. Even my kids. It's all draining and mentally exhausting. I just feel like I am purposed for so much more than what I'm doing but past decisions and mistakes have seemingly sealed my fate that this is all there is for my life.

I fight against that current though. I know there is something more for me out there and that thought, though hopeless gives me a small amount of light that I may succeed.

It's hard getting up everyday and going through the same routine. Only looking forward to the weekends or looking forward to clocking out every day and going home to do something self satisfying for 2 hours until its time to go pick up my kids. This is no way to live.

Maybe you need some anti depressants or some uppers like Adderall

Nah. I don't like that.

We all have a destiny brother. We all have talents, gifts, special proclivities that are exceptional in one way or another. One of the reasons why so many of us are drained is because we spend so much time at jobs that only serve to distract us from harnessing our best qualities to do something greater, more fulfilling.


You're supposed to feel like you're purposed for more, because you are. All of us are to some degree.

How would your ideal life look?

A different job? Single with no kids? Living somewhere different?

Nah. I don't like that.

So you prefer feeling suicidal?
