Ever just feel like...

...you don't want to do anything anymore? Like... Sometimes I wish I could just stop existing for a while. Just a while! I don't know if it's because I'm bored, sad, or stressed. I just don't feel like doing anything sometimes. Not even laying down. Maybe sleeping, since I feel like I'm not doing anything, but I feel that wouldn't be effective if I wouldn't wake up until I wanted to. Just... everything sounds boring or something. Make sense? Or am I just crazy?

Oh yes I have felt this way many times. That's when I want to go live in a cabin in the woods where there is peace and solitude. A place I can become one with nature. I usually consider it must be time to get away, even for the day and just do something I want to do. I have often wished I would just sleep until something came up or whatever....in fact in deep depression I have done just that. It's not the answer, I don't think it is very productive to our conscious mind. I don't think you are crazy, I think it is natural to feel this way... Try to think of something that has brought you enjoyment in the past...if you think really hard you will come up with something to do, or just the simple contemplation will bring you around to your normal self. Hope this helps. Brightest blessings, Mari

Makes sense. I thought for a while I just needed to get out, go on vacation, do SOMETHING. I actually went away for the weekend with my boyfriend and his friends to a cabin and it was all great... but then I get back and it just starts over again. I can't be on vacation ALL the time.

Its natural to feel down every now and then. Personally I have battled depression growing up. Some days I would feel fine and other days I felt like all hope was gone and there was no use attempting anything. On days like this I too felt like just sleeping and staying at home. The last thing I wanted to do was socalize or even watch television, read a book ect.. Everything I did seemed to take so much energy. Thankfully things have improved and I hardly ever feel this way. But everyones human and its alright to sleep in every once and awhile if you feel like it. Who knows when you wake up you might feel better.

I think I just am bored with my life. I feel kind of stuck and I'm tired of doing the same thing everyday. I don't know if it's depression or not, because I know my life could be worse and technically, I've got it good. I have a lot to be appreciative about. I guess I just need to stop being so negative about everything that bothers me and let the positive overcome it.

It really make sense to me. I felt it sometimes too. But on the other hand, I have too much obligation at the moment. I just need to force myself to act, do what I have to do. I just want to nonexistence sometimes too. It was to void inside of me.

[b][/b]I do feel the same thing like you do, like when problems arise, I will feel so stressed out, tensed and tired. Don't want to do anything, no appetite, what I do is try to relax, breath-in and breath-out, it helps, or just go out of the house for a change of ambiance.

I think that maybe you should force yourself to do things. The more involved you are in something that you care about you'll get your energy back for the tasks around your home. Maybe it would be a good idea to volunteer for a cause, or take the bus to go do some shopping.( if you can afford to do that) If you're busy you won't be bored.
