The last year I have been experiencing a really profound feeling of uncertainly and unhappiness. It comes and goes. I am questioning who I am, and what I am doing - who I am married to, my job (especially my job), you name it, I am questioning it. Even my politics have started to move gradually to the right
Is it possible to go though life without these upheavals? My gut is telling me that only good can come from it, especially since I feel I have been plodding along for a few decades, but there is always that feeling that I might make a rash decision, and regret it later. That is life I guess. I am having a pretty rough time at work, and am thinking of trying something else but at this late stage in life I feel my options are pretty limited.
Feel free to ignore, but your thoughts might make me feel better at least  (and yes I know I am a whinny little turd who has more than most of the the planets humans and I should be greatful!) |
Having survived a bout of clinical depression about 15 years ago, some of the words you have used are little warnings that should be investigated by your GP and then by mental health professionals. Not saying that this the case but it might be worth going to talk to someone soon. I found it liberating to talk to someone neutral and it helped give me perspective.
