What to do in my life..?
Hi! I think I'm going through exactly the same thing as you. I really hope it's just a phase and that I will find a direction soon! Then again, my depressive mood swings (I'm not clinically diagnosed, and I don't want to term it 'depression' based on internet diagnosis) have been around for years now, so may be this is just my life. Anyway, I've found keeping busy and just getting done the things that are in front of you helps. When you're busy and are running around everywhere, and physically exhausted, you don't really have time to have depressing thoughts. Once you're on the roll, it's quite easy to keep filling up your diary with people to meet and things to do - and some of them will lead to new and exciting people/things, that may (I hope) lead to something great! But then you do a lot of stupid things just for the sake of keeping yourself busy and distracted, and sometimes go in the wrong direction, and when you're tired you're more susceptible to depressive thoughts. Can't advise you on that balance as I'm figuring it out myself too... But I guess it's worth a try? At least I feel like the experiences, even if some of it was unnecessary, has helped me understand myself better and I know what not to do next time! Also, I've done the charity thing - it does make you feel good about you sometimes, but make sure it's a cause that actually interests you and care about. I really liked the quote I read somewhere, which was like: 'Life is just a long stretch of unbearable journey. But the little flowers and the nice people that smile at you as they walk past makes that journey a little more bearable.' Probably not the exact words but I hope you get the gist of it and take from it what I try to remember every time I feel like giving up on life altogether.
19 don't know what to do with my life?
Hey guys. I'm a 19 year old male that's really concerned about my future. I've been going to community college for that past 2 years now but still have no major. Nothing at school really interests me and the only reason why I'm going is because it's expected from me by family and others. I currently work a crappy fast food minimum wage job. I don't want to be at this forever. What are some options for me? I've always thought about joining the Air Force but I want something that's going to give me a stable future and income for the rest of my life. I could care less honestly about becoming rich. All I need is a roof over my head and running water and I'm as happy as a king.
I don't know what to do with my life.?
Okay so you say you like acting. Well then you should write plays and with your friends make videos on youtube. See if you like that. Also take an acting course to see if you are cut out for it. There are a lot of people who are introverts and actors. But they gained confidence and so can you. Make a list of what interests you. For example, I like shopping, gaming, fashion, makeup, the beach,animals, children, traveling. Then I can explore each aspect of this to see what my career should be. I'm studying to become a fashion designer. If you want to be an actor, go for it. Do what interests you even if you don't make a lot of money. Heck you try being an extra for a movie. You know what an extra is right? Scout local agencies, contact them about wanting to be an extra in a movie and you're all set. Everything will be okay.
I'm not sure what to do with my life?
This is not a depression note. It is a note of confusion. At this stage in my high school career (senior) I have no idea what I want to do. I fear that I will never decide on an occupation that suits me. I fear there is no job out there that I can ever be truly passionate about. Is this true? Will I always be just a hard-working stiff? This is not the only problem I am having. I live in a very religous community. However, despite all the tugs and pulls of the christian baptist extremists of which some of whom I call friends, I have not developed the same radical ideals as they. The only thing is, Im not quite sure what my own beliefs consist of. And what's worse, I dont know how to come up with my own. I know it sounds easy, but I can never decide upon certain issues to decide where I stand. How can I come up with them? Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I truly appreciate it.
I don't know what to do with my life?
I've turned 18 and my mum asked me what I want to do in life. Do I want to go to university, do I want to get a specific job, do I want to live my life in a large house, etc????????? Because I'm 18, I know that, if I want to do something with my life, now is the chance. By the time I'm 30 or 40 my life choices will be very limited compared to 18. But my answer to my mum was, "I'm not to sure." Kids at my school are already off at university working towards a degree to get a job to get this salary to get this house and lifestyle. But I'm thinking, I don't really want life to be extreme, I don't want my life to be so organised like this. I will happily work hard for something I want, but, I don't want anything. People ask me, "what am I interested in?" And I'll say "Medicine," so they will say "do that." But the thing is before that week I was interested in Politics, then I was interested in Cinema, then I was interested in Music, then I was interested in History, then I was interested in Science, etc. I could sit down and do a university degree that I'm really into, but in a week's time I'll get bored of this and find something else I really want to do. Then I'll get bored of that next week and find something else. I've pretty much been like this my whole life.
What can I do with my life to help others?
I love helping other people, I have so much love for people even if I don't know them. I want to do more in the world, and I know I can't fix everything in the world but I wanna devote my life to helping others. How can I do that and still survive myself?
