are you bored with life?

yeah, life sucks too.

mundane routine, yada,yada,yada................I need a holiday!

I've been saying this alot recently. I thought moving to a new city would give me the boost, but no. Same thing every day, I keep finding myself avoiding situations where I might meet anyone of value and then I spend ages regretting I missed the chance. I'm very bored and I've had enough of just sitting in front of the computer or tv, alone. But whenever I put myself in another situation- work, social, even with my family- all I can think of is how much I want to be back alone in my own space again! Am I my own worst enemy, or what?

That period of time between interests for me is a horrible feeling. I tend to just be paralyzed in what I can do and motivate myself for during that time. Depression certainly plays a part in that aspect, but without an interest that I can get enjoyment from my life has no real meaning.

Thankfully at this time I can begin to see the fog clearing from the depression and have found a renewed passion in learning about myself and finding my niche in life. The recent AS diagnosis I originally saw as a curse has now taken the form of a renewed understanding of my own life and actions; I believe I can use this time to finally find direction and purpose. There is still a lull in an obsessively engaging interest, but I have hope that I will find it soon.

I stay at home for up to 4 days at a time and I'm too apathetic to be bothered.

I'm not so much bored as having too many things to do, and not knowing where to start, hence procrastinating a bit. The boredom disappears when I'm hyperfocusing on a task though, like reading a novel.

I know you have heard this many times...I can't stress this enough. Exercise is so important. 45 min to 1 hr., if aerobic in nature, every day to every other day. Your spirits will soar as well as your energy levels. You will desire everything more. Try to set your sights on a public half or full marathon. Just make your first goal to be able to run without stopping once (with a base of proper training first). Don't worry about times. Research how to train. Do it. With increased energy and mood, you will become more outgoing. Exercise / sports when I was young changed my life. I used to be so uncoordinated that I couldn't run in a straight line. I would always go in a circle to the left. I had to compensate by heading off to the right so I could end up where I wanted to go. I felt betrayed by my body because, besides general uncoordination (I still have no real fine coordination), I wet the bed until puberty and I had a series of tics. First physical and then verbal too. I started exercising and my gross motor skills developed to very good levels. With that, my mood,energy levels, and confidence started to soar.

Life is too short, and far too beautiful not to experience fully. Challenge yourself physically and intellectually every day. Start out small and build up. Once you experience success, your motivation builds and it becomes an endless cycle of positive reinforcement. Your body, and mind, deteriorate if not stressed. Many people are situationally depressed. If you sit around with no aspirations, you feel boredom and depression...of course. Experiment with music, writing...anything creative. Physical exercise will amplify the positive experience of those. You will think more clearly and you will feel calm of body. I can tolerate NOISE a whole lot better when I am fit.

Think of what you wish to be and research the steps to get there. Work towards that goal everyday.

Addiction is not a bad word if you develop a positive addiction. Once you build to levels that are advanced, your hormones will rise, and you will feel so young and vibrant. Don't give in to depression. Work your way through and beyond it. You will greatly broaden your horizons, I promise you.

I'm a very upbeat person, but life is exasperating. I was thinking of setting up my 10 gallon aquarium tonight and then drowning myself in it...but how embarrassing would that be? hehehehe.

In a sense, yes. My life is pretty routine, which I don't mind. But I am even getting bored with my special interests, which upsets me. I used to be so into what I do, and I just can't get as excited about it anymore. Maybe its because I am getting older, or maybe I have done what I do so often that I am tired of it . I need a break, or I will lose my mind.

I've basically been bored with life since I was about twelve. In fact, I think my primary function in life is to constantly struggle to maintain interest. I'm pretty sure it's why I move around so much, and to such "extreme" locations.

Bored?

No upset with myself

more than bored. sometimes when i put myself into bed, i can remember getting out of that same bed in the morning and it feels like 10 mns ago.and i think wow, that's another day of my life i didn't see happen at all. it's kind of depressing to see death coming to you day after day and feel like nothing will happen before your life is over.......
