Feeling 'SICK' of Everything In Life

since I don’t know your exact situation, I wont be able to comment much, but from a broader perspective, our everyday existence itself is full of staleness. We follow the same routine from morning till the time we go to bed and try as we might, we are never able to change our situation for the better because of the simple fact that there is no end to our wants. Even the most successful and rich person in this world is bored of life coz s/he is attending the same meetings, the same parties, the same traveling and so on. We would indeed have to be born as gypsies if we want to be on the move forever. Nothing changes for better or worse in our lives, our way of looking at things change according to our age, situations, our responsibilities. And also remember that there is always tomorrow. So keep your head high, your heart in good spirits and keep mylotting…rest of your problems will go away on their own.

Yes.. I'm thinking it's likely we've all been there a time or two.. Just recently I felt like everything I tried to do was met with a huge roadblock (I'm still not sure if this isn't still going on!) Sometimes it seems as though a person can work so hard at many things.. and yet get nowhere.. like constantly rowing upstream in rough waters. I know that life goes back and forth.. back and forth - like a wheel.. at one time you're at the top of the wheel and times are good.. and then at other times we're at the bottom, watching others flying high, while being stuck with the same old persistent problems or difficulties.. At such times, all I can do is put a time limit on any negative, angry or bitter thoughts (after all, there is creative power in our thoughts, and words). And, well, keep plugging, but maybe make sure I take more time 'off' and get more rest, relaxation and doing things I enjoy. I'm prone to meditation and quiet contemplations, and that always helps me. I also make a conscious effort to replace every negative thought with a positive. These things always improve how I feel, and sometimes how things turn out..

I feel that way every day I keep wondering if there is nothing better out there

yup somedays I feel like I am stuck in the same mode of nothing has changed from one day tro the next doing the same old thing every day day in dayout

I think we all go through this kind of situation at some point in our life, but we all come over with time goes by. Personally I think that, when we expect more from life we have to go through this kind of situation. If we can learn to compromise a little with our life, or in other word if we don't expect much from life then we can be happy in every day life. But whatever the situation is we should always look forward and be optimistic.

It really sounds as though you are in a state of depression...If not that you just mind be in a rut,and need to zazz up your lifestyle some...Get out and do something different,start a new project and just get involed with something...I have been ther many times and you are not alone,a lot of people get into this state of mind...Try zazzing your lifestyle up a bit,if you cannot find anyway out,then i would suggest you see your medical doctor..Sometimes we need a little help...Do not let it ride because it only gets worse....so do something baout it...

I think we've all been in this frame of mind at times. I know I have. Sometimes waiting thigs out will solve it. At other times we have to look at ourselves and see if there is anything we can change to make things better. It's a hard place to be and you need to be careful this feeling doesn't slip into depression. Take care.

I'm sure I probably have. The best thing to do is just move on to something else. Try something different and remember that your attitude can make all the difference in the world. Having a positive attitude just may change the outcome.

Thankfully that situation is temporary and within my control to change. Change my thoughts and "bingo", I've changed my feelings. Sometimes it is difficult to pull my thoughts away from the negative and onto looking for what is working, what is good. The key for me is to keep drawing positive influences into my life. For instance, I subscribe to a magazine called "Ode" that features nothing but good news. They write about what people are doing around the world to make a positive difference. It is amazing how narrow our view of the world can become if we don't work to broaden it. I remind myself that everything is not revolving around me. I can look in a different direction and see different things. This isn't always easy because I can get very self-focused.

i can say ive been through a lot already. i married a wrong guy, he left us in a slum area then be after three days not knowing if we ate already or what happened to us. he will go home there looking for food and if there is none he will get angry. he will beat us... well thats just a few. i wont be ranting about it anymore. because that was the past. 7 years ago i packed my bag tag a long my children and left him. it is natural to get tired of all of this and making a decission is there for you to think of. life should be fun not sour. goodluck

I think most people experience this negativity from time to time. In Zen, we say it is related to attachment to the relative world (the world of opposites). Once we desire something or feel positive about something, the law that states that opposites attract goes into effect and any positive feeling will sooner or later give way to it's opposite. Just like we cannot have white without black, we cannot have positive without negative. :-)

Interesting, I was just having a conversation last night about this feeling you're having. The word we came up with was "ennui".

I'm feeling that now. I've been in this bucket for a few weeks now and not getting any better. I wish there was this magic pill to make us feel better but there isn't so here we both sit side by side in our own buckets. lol Oh what fun we're having now! Yippeee!! I know we have to work on ourselves but when feeling this way, it's very hard to do it but we have to do so if we want to change. Good luck to you. Maybe you'll pass some of that luck on to me as well?

yes of course there are such times in our lives when we just feel we are not doing any good cos things are just not working our way,at that tiem is when we need tthe presence of our family and people we really trust,a good balance in our spirituality also helps a lot at this time,i withdraw into my prayer place at such times and then seek counsel

I've never felt that way towards 'everything'. My relationship with my wife has always been able to pick me up. So, I have something solid to rely on. Perhaps, you need to be on myLot less and/or concentrate on your deepest most personal relationship you have with another.

I am in one such situation right now. Nothing seems to work out for me. Despite y best efforts, situations happen which you can call fate too ,that I am not able to change my circumstances and now life seems a long series of compromises.

Yes definitely! Sometimes I just hate life for no reason and I get sick of everything and everyone. But it usually doesn't last too long and I would try to ask myself to appreciate stuff around me more or even watch some good movies and sit down and debate with myself about life. Life is not always good but I guess I am still glad to be alive to do things and experience it.

Perhaps I have been in that situation. When everything seems to be not working as one would like it to be, then staleness is felt in life's events.
