Author Topic: Man - life seems pointless sometimes (Read 9560 times)

Shifted Shapes,

I will help you out. Remember what we talked about a few months ago? Want to help make it happen?

I could use a good mind like yourself. At least you will never have to work again in your life. Can you deal with that?

Shapes, take a few months off and go somewhere you've always wanted to go, with or w/o the wife. Do what you feel you need to do, get your head right, and live deliberately.

Maybe try a shrink if you think it would help, it works for Tony Soprano.

Fvcking college girls is always good therapy too. It works for Tony Soprano.

Get your wife into bdsm and hang her from the rafters on wed nights, maintenance spanking other nights.

Go skydiving.

Streak a televised sporting event (paint SS on you so we know it's you).

Hang in there Shapes.

Maybe you could sit down with a pen and paper and write the pros and cons of your life, or simply write things that you're unhappy with. Once you've got a few things down, work out how to fix these problems to make your life better and happier.

Also, I'm noticing an advantage to this depressed mood. I already have nasty voices in my head so belligerent responses don't agitate me as they normally would. They just seem like external projections of the constant brow beating that I'm inflicting upon myself.

Life isn't short. Life is long. ANd REALLY f'ing long when you are unhappy.

Budget it out, get a stafford loan, go back to school and learn what you really wanna do. If you're happier, the wife will be okay with the initial $ hit.

yeah it's tough being an adult. It just kind of creeps up on you. That's the weirdest part. I can do whatever I want really. I just have to decide what. I guess just thinking about it is part of the solution, but in this mood I don't see the eureka moment coming.

man, it might not sound pleasant, but maybe its your wife?
One can get really dull livin w/ same partner for long time, and unfortunately merriges often fail

Personally, I think the fact that he doesn't want to take a leap out of the norm and explore something different because his wife wouldn't like it says something about him. I picture marriage to be something blissful. You're with your to-be life partner; there should be no comprimises. That's one thing he should asess right there, but maybe my view of marriage isn't typical.

Life's hard, but dealing with things that are dragging you down will only make it harder. Get rid of those things and your life opens up.

Don't worry too much about it... your choices aren't really all that important. In 80 years (or less) you'll be dead, and probably no more than 60 or so years after that everyone you have ever met will also be dead.

Hope this helps.

just use these words of wisdom and what could possibly be that important? It helps. Remember, no one gets out alive.

feeling depressed. I could do anything with my life but im paralyzed by the choices available, and none of them really seem appealing.

mood is everything.

How you think and feel is.... Figure out what you need to do, put one step infront of the other, have faith and confidance and do it! Once you get started, other ways of accomplishing your goals will rear their head, but not until you just get started.

You sound like you're lacking a sense of purpose and that you need to belong to something. Something that's bigger than yourself and that will give your life real meaning. You need to join a team. TEAM ARVILLA!!!

Just follow your heart.

I've been a night club singer with The Glass Menagerie, I've been a gymnast, an ice skater, a Kansas City Athletics professional baseball player, and married to a heroid addict.

Life takes many turns. I saw a man they called the "Dog" when I was 20, and have since devoted my life to hunting his heart.
