Find somebody you can help, someone who is worse off than you. That will almost undoubtedly lift your spirits. It works for me.

Also, look around and count your blessings. If you're having trouble finding the "blessings," see my first sentence in this post - and find someone who is worse off. Then notice how good you have it.

You find a reason. You find a passion. You find life.

It isn't always easy, and sometimes you'll have to fight for it.

SPC Foss, please visit http://www.veteranscrisisline.net. What you are describing is a symptom strongly associated with severe depression. There ARE resources and people who can help, and they are only a phone call away.

I've found distractions. My best one is bowling. Even on league night, I put on my (earbuds)music, turn up the volume, ignore those around me, and bowl. Other times I've slept an entire weekend away.

Go for a long hike in the woods and breathe! Does wonders for the soul and may improve your moral and outlook on life. We let so many things distract us from what's important... It's the little things in life that truly matter.

Our significant others, family and nature. Don't let society's expectations get you down!!!

Get help, quickly. This is not a religious speech, but it sounds like you are lost. You've lost your purpose. Talk to: a chaplain, a doctor, a counselor, someone that will listen and figure out what's missing.

We all ebb and flow through life. Studies show that about every decade, we find we want to redefine ourseives. Our life gets "stale" and we want to make major changes. You may not care about the life your living. Its gotten stale. The first mistake you could make it looking to someone else to fulfill that void. That's your job. Just putting that out front. Secondly, life can be hard at times. Not just when we suffer great lossses or grieve, but when we are bored with life in general. The French call it ennui. We've all been there. Seeing a counsellor can help but so can simply recognizing where you are. Now is the time to pull up your socks, and get back into making a meaningful life for yourself. Growing old is a privilege may people don't get, especially in our job. Embrace it; don't waste another minute wallowing in your melancoly. Journal, get our, establish some objectives for yourself, go back to school.
