Lost in life

[Guest_78882310]

Hi I’m 30 years old just over a year out of a long term relationship and I feel lost in life at the moment, feels like there is an empty void in me I just can’t fill and I also feel like I’m falling behind in life and time is running out for me.

Hi there. Take it easy on yourself. Plenty of time for the future to happen. Sounds like your questioning your identity and purpose in regards to life. That’s ok. Hardest part is just being ok with ourselves in the present.

I’ve felt that stuck place too. For me, it showed up as heaviness and uncertainty, and a fear of not being good enough or deserving of a full life. It can feel lonely when everyone else seems to have a clear direction.

What shifted things from normal was that I followed interests that gave me energy, and studies that opened new doors. Over time, that empty feeling lessened, and I could see new possibilities again. I hope this helps you feel not so alone.

Hi Guest, 

I hear you and I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you might be having trouble navigating life after the end of your relationship. Be gentle with yourself and remember that don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Something that always helps me is focusing on the present, one thing at time. Try and find hobbies and interest that fill your time and that give you a sense of purpose. Remember, you're not alone.
