Help with feeling stuck

Hello all,

I guess I am just here looking for guidance or moral support. I feel stuck in life - like I am just living day-by-day (not in a good, care-free way), with nothing to chase or give me high satisfaction. It is terrible to say that here because I have my a wife and kid. Of course I look forward to them, but I almost feel numb.

The part that is bothering me is that I shouldn't feel that way. I have a work a couple good jobs and have a family. My marriage is good. We have our ups and downs like everyone does. My wife has depression and anxiety so some times are better than others, but I just feel blah, numb, no dreams, etc.

I don't know what is wrong with me and I have felt this way for a few months. I have tried finding something in my life causing me to feel this way, but I just can't. Its like I am lost and don't know who I am, what I want or even what I feel. Just numb.

I’m really sorry you feel that way. That must be so confusing. I’m confised about my mental health as well. I can relate a bit and I empathize as much I can. I’m glad your reaching out for support. This platform- and I- are here for you.

Hi Spring! smileyheart

I can certainly relate to what it is that you have said. With life comes a great deal of responsiblity and I recognize that you do have a great deal of it. I can empathize! You work and so you provide for your family, you have a family, you have a child in your home that you feel responsible for and of course children need love and care! I hear you saying that your wife suffers from depression as well as anxiety so I imagine this too comes with it's own challenges from time to time.

Moral support, indeed, *high fives* my friend! Sometimes with working so hard outside of the home and care giving for loved ones, well, some days we can feel as if our own personal "well" has run dry. We keep going and going with no one else to fill up our tanks from time to time and so it can be very hard. I send you big *hugs* heart

I can understanding feeling stuck. Do you feel as if you have lost your joy a wee bit? I think you have come to the right place though and I commend you for coming here to 7 cups and for posting here! smileyheartangel

Hmmmn... maybe you're just bored? Life is full of interesting stuff and a lot of it is under appreciated. Try baking it might be therapeutic

I say pick up a new hobby, hang out with friends, do something wild, spice up your sex life. Try new things.

Hi, there is a saying that I once heard before. If you can't help yourself help others. Maybe refocusing from yourself to others whom you fan help might find its way back to help you. Find someone you can help.
