I don't know what I want out of life. I'm not sure I ever did know. I went to college because I'm smart and because that's what everyone expected me to do. I can't remember ever really wanting to design or engineer something, I just went to school because I could understand those types of things. Then when I graduated I thought "OK, I'm finished! Now give me a nice fun job where every day isn't a drag  . Oh, and a nice fat paycheck so I can buy a home theater system and blast my favorite action movies!" But I never found anyone to share those movies with. And every day was a drag. So Bud Light became my girlfriend and well...you know the rest. |
Maybe your priorities are off? Maybe life isn't about the big paycheck and the nice toys? Maybe it's about something more?
I believe we all have a purpose. What is it you enjoy? What are you passionate about? What do you care about? How can you make a difference in this world?
And maybe you don't have a girlfriend, but you can find fulfilling relationships with friends. Do you have friends? That might be a good place to start. Life changes a lot when you have others whom you can reflect on yourself with.
Which leads back to therapy.
Really it's not that complicated. It's scary, but not difficult.
Step 1: Call a therapist
Step 2: Show up
That's really it. She/he will help you take it from there and figure out what's going on and how you can best change your life.
