I have lost my zest to life...

cOUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, LAYDEE. U might be surprised how many u have.

I completely understand I have been going through an issue for 9 months now, wow I typed that out loud. Anyways it has really changed me as a person, whereas I try everyday to pretend, and the pretending is what is killing me, as I do not look forward to too many things as I use too. The only thing I can suggest, and please I am the type that can give great avid advice but not the one to take my own advice, is that you try harder everyday. It will not change how you feel you have to find it within yourself to remain focused and tell yourself today is going to be a better day. When that day is not as we wished it were, yes by all means cry, sulk and release but in the end tell yourself tomorrow I will try again. Best of luck sweetie I now exactly how you feel.

okay let me ask you laydee do you have a job? a home? a family or someone you love? okay I am not trying to snipe at all but just remember a lot of us would love a home again, and we do not have it yet. I guess what I am trying to say is maybe change your perspective and focus not on what all is missing, but maybe what you do have that you like or love.Are you in physic pain? Can you talk it out with someone you trust who loves you?What would you really love to do if you could without any strings on it? What would you bring you back to loving life again? Helping someone else? dumping what has happened to make you lose your zest? For me I came here because I had to'and there are things I do not like here but mylotting has helped me to find new purpose, it has not changed the things I dislike but its helped to look at the good things in my life.perhaps when my son get some money ahead now he is working again, I can move into an apartment with him we all have to have hope to light a new happier path for us.

I am in a similar situation like you. It seems this crisis had affected not only the business side but also the psychological side of people. I don't know what I want to do exactly, so this feeling eats my enthusiasm in enjoying life. I will feel energized when I am meeting new people, but I cannot do that everyday. So, now I am not trying, I just live day by day. If I can get through one day with not so much gloom, then I am happy I guess. Just do it day by day. Don;t think of tomorrow's problem.

I believe most of us encounter this feeling one way or another. It is just how we deal with it that can take a toll on us. I too am suffering from this. To a point when I almost got depressed and my health was compromised. I had to slow down, and I supposed we should all go back to the basics, GOD and family will make it easier for us to deal with it. Talk to friends, family and most especially to GOD. We sometimes have difficulty talking to others about our difficulty and struggles but I always believe that it will help us to uplift our feelings. Be in the company of your family and friends. Veer away from the things that make you think feel negative. GOD Bless.

Looks like you dont have any dependable or trustable person with you . All these happen and one can enjoy life only if u come thru all these . When you r alone , dont be idle , distract yourself . Listen to music , take a walk Or get into some seroius work . And if u are a person who like kids or old age people , better visit some orphanage or oldage homes . You will forget your hardships with their innocent smile and care . Plus you will feel a lot more livelier than you were .

You didn't specify your troubles. This would have been easier to answer with some details. But if you've lost your reason for living, I say, find it in God. I'm not talking about religion, but a RELATIONSHIP. If you have CHRIST in your life, you'll find meaning. You'll understand and tolerate a lot of life's struggles better. I'm quite sure you have resources there to explore this concept. If not, PM me, and we'll discuss it further.

Laydee You seem overwhelmed. Dont try so hard. Let it come together naturally.I have never seen you in my life but I feel I know you by our discussions. You are a good person. Maybe to giving. You need to sit back and relax. Take some time for you. Dont play out your daily routines. Be spontaneous! You need to rest sister! Whatever you do, DONT feed into the depression!! If you need to talk, please send me a message and I will send you my email and phone number. We have to stick together and have each others back. Head up High MOMMA! Every body cant be happy all the time or have it together all the time. You are great but you dont have to be superwoman. You already are SUPER MYLOTTER! lol YOu are not alone! dl

I wish I had an answer for you, but I am dealing with the same problem. :( I've had a lot of things happen in the last few years and at this point I feel like I am just going through all the motions that I need to in order to take care of my responsibilities but I am rarely happy or interested to do different things anymore. I enjoy my job, I like being online when I'm not working, but there's a lot of other things I used to do that just don't bring me any happiness anymore so I just... don't do them. I don't really do much of anything, anymore. :/

Hi there, I was there a year ago. The best thing I could do is wait. Just remember that time changes. Just like your good life has gone bad, your bad life can eventually become good again. Just accept that you are in your lost stage, because life will not always be nice nor stay the same. This is just another stage that will take you to something else, maybe better maybe not. Best wishes.

I think that you are just bored with your life. Find something special that makes you inspire. I think make yourself busy so that you can't think of your problems. Try to engage with some sports or go out with your friends. Most of all us guidance from some councilor that they can give you some advice that can help you through the way.

I can say you are still blessed because you have found an outlet of your feelings towards life, myLot friends are here. But also don't ever forget that there is one greater than us that you can turn on to, it's God. I don't want to sound preachy but just hold on to Him in times like this when things are getting worst. Remember that life is worth living.

You need to take time to slow down, think, write down your thoughts..sometimes, at the fast pace we move these days, we forget to notice that we are more blessed than others..that out there, someone is looking at you and thinking, "Why am I living like this when others seem to have so much?" :-)

I relate to that. I also have lost or the decline of positivism in life. When I first felt that I don't know how to overcome or alter my feelings it's just so hard getting away with it. But I realize only a sincere and solemn prayer would be the key for the lost of spark of my life that happened in your life.. I hope this respond makes you enlighten somehow.
