writes:Has anyone felt lost in life? And has someone gotten out of this funk- I'm 33 and I've gotten the education - the fancy corporate job - done everything by the book - the worrying - the - counting the pennies - the over exercising - the nice appearance - that I feel so stuck in a life that looks okay in the outside . My parent their whole lives they did things according to plan- I just started living alone and the bills are piling up and it get overwhelming to think that my life is going to be this and maybe maybe if I'm lucky a man and. A child . Did I fall flat on my expectations? There is a childish part inme that doesn't want to do anything- I don't fee smart enough for any job - I have advanced degrees but I'm not confident - and sometimes Through two bad relationships I don't know if I trust men anymore. Bottom line I thought if I worked hard I would have these things and I wake up just feeling empty - how does one go about finding passions? Getting out of this funk ? It's so weird but all I want to do is be reckless and go out and just live

When you think about things youll realise how lucky you are and how you can adapt to suit you. You dont need to go running to the docs for anything you just need to workout your sections of life. I hit rock bottom last year and all it took was 1 person off here and it just hit me and i am in the best place ive ever been in a long time . Take time out and go enjoy doing things with family and friends . write a couple of new things you want to try next month and make yourself do it, could even be something simple as going to a new bar or seeing a film you havent seen . small steps make you feel like youve taken big leaps . You are in control of your life and you can do anything and be anyone you want to be.

 Thank goodness. You are human. Anyone with half a brain arrives at the place that you have sooner or later. At your age you still have to work so finding something that gives a bit of meaning to your life is important.
Some exec's, like yourself, make use of an 'outplacement company' to help you find what you ought to be doing. You will be interviewed and given psychometric tests. Once a new direction is discovered they will help you rewrite your CV, redevelop your interview technique and apply to new and different companies. One corporate exec' I knew discovered that he really wanted to be a fish farmer. There is no telling what you may have suppressed over the years. And what you could now start doing.
Anyway, I think it might be worth a try for you.

You have everything you have striven for but you are not allowing yourself the pleasure of happiness.
It may be that you are depressed and need some meds from the doctor and these can make a difference to the way that you feel about yourself!
