Author Topic: passing by some rough times  (Read 2646 times)

I like to take walks to clear my head, that could help a bit. It's important to center yourself sometimes. Also, don't force yourself to stick to routine if you aren't engaged. Those activities that aren't as fun or appealing for you anymore? Try quitting them, if just for a bit. They'll likely be more enjoyable if you haven't done them for a little while.

I think to a certain extent, it's natural to have listless and bored phases here and there. Boredom evolved in humans for a reason, after all.


i sometimes have no motivation to do things but i easily finish them after punching myself in the face and closing all social media or whatever to focus on the one thing thats actually important


You'll get over it once you realise that the world owes you nothing and you are luckily born in a good country and live a comfortable life. Sometimes it takes real hardships to make someone realise this like serious illness or severe financial issues.

Best advice I've got is don't really dwell on the present when you're in this kind of mood. Focus on the long term: where you want to be, where you want your family to be. It might not feel like it, but every action you take can dramatically change your life. Don't need to be passionate about it as long as you put one foot in front of the other you're good.

if you're in highschool there's no point in doing any work other than scraping by

this of course coming from a college dropout

go off the grid, leave home with a briefcase of money.
become a hermit in the mountains

maybe you're just bored of doing the same old routine. try to do something new. i was feeling this way recently and started playing disc golf, and now things are better.

thank you for the advice everyone :). will try these

i've understood this for awhile but i'm not over it. the problem with being in much better living standards and feeling like you're doing nothing makes you feel like wasted potential. considering so much is put into you but you feel that you're not making enough output

when i was in this phase i started going for long runs because it kept my mind preoccupied, got me in shape, and i met new people. my advice is to try new things and good will come from it
this is definitely the best response

You are 15 and you haven't identified any major issues besides the symptoms themselves so I'm going to assume it's the result of chemical changes in your body due to adolescence. The feelings will pass as long as you don't feed into them. Don't sit around all day feeling sorry for yourself and let it metastasize into major depression. If you want to do something, do it, it may require more effort than it used to, but put aside the time to try anyway.

Try and enjoy the next few years of your life to the best of your ability, because when they are gone they are gone forever, and everything just gets harder and harder from there on out lol

NOTE: If you opt to tell an adult, which is a good idea, tell your parents or your siblings or your aunt or grandparents or something. Don't tell anyone at school.

Talk to an adult irl and don't take any other advice posted here

This. Seriously.

No, really. Seriously.

Long walks, trying something new, starting a new project, and running from your problems by mentally blocking out the present may distract you from the problem but they're not solutions. I'm certainly not telling you NOT to do those things (well maybe avoid that last one) but if you really feel the way you described in the OP, the only thing a person your age can do to make a real step in the right direction is talk to an adult you trust.
