Let's talk of psychology a little, shall we? So if you don't want to read this noone makes you to so would you please just drift away from this thread if you don't like it.

How do you think, if someone feels like crap inside and everything seems soo black is it always determined by external factors of life or internal (I mean those psychological ones inside the individual)? I wonder if it's all about the latter. During the last couple of months external things in my life stayed just the same, but I literally went through hell inside, can't find the right words to explain.

I mean, only 2 months ago I knew exactly what I was doing, now I do that, and one day it all just seems wrong. I have been on the wrong track and not doing what I should have been doing. I don't know what's right and what's wrong in this situation, I feel like I'm lost in a boat in the middle of an ocean and don't know where to sail.

I'm trying to describe what I feel. The best way to imagine that would be if you picture yourself having slept all your life and then bang... One day you just wake up and stare around. I feel like I slept through my entire life and only recently I realized what the heck was going on, or just trying to start to realize that. And I'm not sure whether what I realize is right or it's just another illusion and another dream.

So I come to this place where seems to be lots of people with unclouded minds, not like me, and I'd like to profit from your wisdom. What is your response having read all this? But please... be honest.

Thank you for reading the above.

I think everybody goes through phases like this. I know you probably don't feel like it right now, but what seems to help me the most when I have feelings like this, is to go try something completely new, something completely outside my experience. For me this seems to put everything else in perspective somehow.

Thats a weird condition, if it is. All I have to say is, think it through. If all else fails, live out your life until you understand your purpose.

If I read you right, you are looking for so-called "purpose" in life...

Some years ago, I started asking what my purpose here is. The truth as I have come to realise it is that you will never truly be satisfied with any answer that comes to you. I do not know whether there is an answer at all. I would suppose this is the point where many people turn towards religion for answers.... I won't be doing that though.

I used to have a dream where i would be approaching the end of a task that took what seemed years to accomplish.. and somewhere towards the end, a voice or a character says that i have been doing it all wrong and that i should start over. It scared the cwap out of me. It was like being fired at the age of 64, when your pension depends on you working till you're 65. I didn't know what aspect of my life the dream was referring too. (career, relationships etc). Anywayz, i haven't had the dream lately.

Sounds like you had the waking realization to my dream. All i can say is that i hope it's your brain trying to tell you something constructive/positive... and i hope you take advantage of it and choose the right path if that is the case. Step back, look at your life and look at it from overhead and see if everything is the way you really want it.

:) Good luck
Have a few of these and think things over --> :beer::beer::beer:

Thanks, but I'd rather stay sober. Somehow I quit drinking alcohol completely a few months ago. One day I just stopped feeling like drinking. I didn't drink a single drop even during the New year when nearly everyone is drunk unconscious. Don't know what's happening to me.

It seems that your condition started soon afterwards. Mere coincidence? Hmmmm... :p

Hey I never drank a lot (or so I believe). I'm not of a very strong health so a can of beer was enough to turn me on. I could never drink 3 whole cans.
