Life just seems so off, more recently than before. I've been in lockdown since March of last year. For the most part, I didn't mind it (because I'm not much of a social person) but it did impact me mentally because I don't like being in my house with my family all the time. Now that its been over a year since corona began I've just lost the purpose to keep living. I'm just sooo bored with my life. All I do is school and scroll through instagram. It also feels strange because I feel like we aren't coming near this pandemic soon as much as I hate to say it. The whole world is in a mess and things seemed like they were getting better, but is there any big progress? What's worse is how summer is just around the corner. During summer I don't do anything, maybe occasionally work. I see all these people I know with their friends, living their best life and then there's me. Its been like this forever, not just a corona thing. Anyways, I just have a really uneasy feeling about life. Like I keep getting heavy feelings of nostalgia for no reason and this has been going on for about 6 months. Its making me feel very sick. I think I've just realized that I will never be as happy as I was when I was a child and this lockdown has highlighted that. I don't want to go on for too long but can anyone else relate?

I'm caught in a loop
So, I don't know how I ended up here but I guess I'll just do this. I'm scared all the time. I'm scared of myself, and is not that bad because I know I won't en...

i can definatly relate. summer hits hard for me because of certain memories that come with it. My advice is to talk to someone about your feelings, sometimes that helps for me.
ReplyThanks for your comment! I really appreciate it :)
ReplyPeople around you are never as happy as they seem. They put their best foot forward on social media, but I'd bet a lot of them are feeling like you do right now. In fact, I'm sure a lot of people in the world in general are feeling like you are right now, so you're not alone. This year and last has been rough. But it won't always be like this. Life is a circle, you go low then you go high then you go low again. You may not feel the same *kind* of happiness you felt as a 6 year old, but I promise you will feel a happiness just as great (and greater) many times in the years to come. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just on the low part of their circle.
my advice for now is to find something to do that you love and gives you purpose. Start writing a story, write music, start a YouTube channel, learn how to draw, build something, whatever. Being able to spend time by yourself and feel like you're personally accomplishing something is a wonderful thing. It gets rid of that hopeless, monotonous feeling of not doing anything and makes you excited for tomorrow. It's what got me through the 2020 and life in general. When you have something that's special to you that you are invested in and excited about, it gives your life a self-fueled purpose which is invaluable imo.
This won't last forever, I swear. You've got this!:)
