I know that the last post here was quite a long time ago.
I have absolutely been going through this every single day recently.
The questions I ask are these:
Who Am I ?
What Is My Purpose ?
I suffer from depression so very little things bring me joy.
I am trying to bring joy back into my life.
I am disabled and don't have a job or a regular schedule
and I have no friends. Five years ago when I DID have a job
I felt like I had a purpose. And I had all my co-workers as
friends. Well, many things have happened the past five
years and now I am physically and mentally disabled
and looking for something to do with my life.
When a depressed person finds very little joy from life,
it is very hard to find something that "you like to do" !
This finding joy thing is going to take some time.
Right now I am just spending most of my time
going to doctors appointments. I have not been
feeling well physically. I am overwhelmed with
all this medical stuff. I cannot concentrate on
these appointments and then try to go to workshops
and classes and support groups too. I cannot go
out every day, I have to limit it to every other day
or I get very tired.
How do I find my purpose ?
I am 54 years old. I cannot live a life without purpose.
Life is empty without it.
