Is there something specific that is weighing on you?

Probably the fact that he lives in Michigan and the weather here has been horrid lately.

Cheer up. I'm in Traverse City. And it's supposed to be sunny this week...at least once I think...

What has you upset?

 

[gordie]

Yeah, Michigan has been sucking real hard lately. I'm closer to Detroit.

lots of stuff. I guess I've been feeling lonely a bit. I'm all worried about my hair because it's sorta not growing back correctly but it looks fine. It still bothers me, ya know? I mean, I see it everyday. I always feel like I haven't really done anything productive in the past couple years. All I do is watch netflix, play video games, make music (that isn't that great) and other stuff. i don't know. I'm just ranting.

life n stuff. I guess just dealing with life in general.

Not feeling productive, or perhaps more correctly purposeful is indeed a thing that can weigh on your mood. We, as humans like to feel that we have impact on the world and the people we care about. Lacking that, depression is not unusual. And probably a bit of what you feel.

A partial solution is finding a goal, even a small one that you see as valuable and worth doing, and working toward it.

It could be simple, like learning how to cook a dozen dishes. Or being able to run a set distance, or reading about a specific time in history in depth. Or it could be complex, such as working toward a degree, or getting the skills for a new job. But in either case, it can provide you with goal that you can mindfully move towards that has value to you. Even starting on a path, any path, can start to life that feeling you are having.

And the hair? Don't worry about it. I pulled a genetic illness in 2003 that made every hair on my body fall out. Now there was a test of ones self image 🙂 You are not what you look like. That's just a package, and hair is perhaps one of the most variable parts. Others pay it far less mind they you are.

Thanks for wise words. I guess what i'm trying to do is find what i want to do for the rest of my life and not feel like i'm making the wrong choice.

This is not an easy question to answer, and despite the bill of goods that society sells us, odds are you won't get it right the first time, and will make some mis-steps. That is part of what growing up is about. It sucks to feel like one is wasting time investing in a path that turns out to be the wrong one, but until you even try a path, you can't begin to know if it's right or wrong.

Some folks get it right the first try out. Others take longer. But all the ones that find a job that they love share one thing in common, they kept trying things until they found it.

Don't fear action because of worry that you'll waste time. By not acting you are already wasting the time.
