So Bored with my Life.

[DJCliffy]

Seriously bored, my jobs boring, my life is boring, everything is boring! I ain't unhappy or sad or nothing just proper bored with my life. Doing the same shit all the time is getting really old now, I'm even finding drugs to be a bit shit now, i don't get the same high i once did and the comedowns are getting worse. Also i now realise i'm 25 and haven't accomplished anything decent with my life.

I'm seriously considering joining the army now, I know i failed the navy test last year but have been doing a bit of studying lately plus i'm fitter than i've ever been in my entire life, I am quite confident i can get in. I'm due to see an army careers officer in two weeks time so hopefully they'll have something decent to offer me. Also i have been thinking I'd like to travel the world for a while but owe too much money so that rules that one out, at least for a couple years anyways. :crazy_diz

Has anyone else ever experienced these sorts of feelings before and if so how did you remedy it?

No stupid answers please. :love:

I got sick of the people I hugn around with who did nothing but take drugs and rip into everyone else from the music scene I was with, I got sick of the drugs, of pissing everything up the wall every weekend and I realised I was going nowhere. I pulled myself together long enough to manage a phonecall to a school and I applied to be a teaching assistant with special needs kids (autism). Changed my life, suddenly other schools were interested too. I sort of went backwards when I moved to Glos, won't bother explaining, but I know I can do it now and once the toddler is at school I'll have the confidence to start again. Hope this helps, but I gained some direction and purpose from doing that (with a little push from a friend back then).

Afraid I'm stuck in limbo again at the mo though! But thats single motherhood for ya.

yep - and it got remedied for me by my Civil Service position being downsized (ironically due to budget cuts caused by the war!) I had to find a new career and then got offered a job by one of my extended family so had to move to Ipswich (I didn't come here for the fun of it :laugh_at:)

was a very steep and intense learning curve and TBH it (sort of) weaned me off getting trashed every weekend - thats not to say I've given up completely but its made me realise whats most important in life...

[DJCliffy]

I'd miss you as well maximo!! :love:

But yeah dj, i think i need to do something like that, as i said i'm not unhappy or nothing like that, I just feel i could be doing something more worthwhile with my life, I actually quite like the idea of helping people, makes me feel quite good about myself! :wink:

m8 i am the same .. that's half the reason i am so silly .. just tring to entertain myself lol ...

best remidy .. do diferant things allll the time ... like you see an advert for go carting .. book it up ... you see a skate board in a shop .. take up skating ...

these things may only entertain you for a little while and then you back to your old bored self .. but the trick is to fill your life with so many new things then every thing is new and entertaining .. so your never bored .. :wink:


with regards to the job .. you just got to get a new one ..

[O-D]

Depends on who you are I guess.

Lots of diffent ways to feel fulfilled that fit different people.

Figure out what you want to accomplish in your life and do it. :bounce_g:

[uglyprettytrash]

I'm already bored with doing my degree. Essays, deadlines and being around loads of people who think that a jungle night is fancy dress (I kid you not) is doing my head in. Just gotta stick it out though, cos where am I gonna find a job in this economic climate?

Good luck with the armyy stuff! And things might seem better once it's summertime! That's what I'm hoping anyway :)

But you have accomplished something Cliffy

You make people smile and laugh, and the way the world look today that's a big accomplishment.

You might not have saved the world, but you in yourself make it a nicer place to be in.

Live every day as if it's your last, and get as much as possible out of it.

You're a good guy and I for one will miss you if you join the army, but if it's what you feel will make you happy you should..

Think everybody have felt like you do but I don't think there are a remedy

wish I could say something that would make it all better, but im afraid I can't :(

Thanks Angel! :love::love:

i felt like this after new years, feel a lot better now, think it helps if you make aims for yourself (sounds lame i know), but it sort of gives you a direction and a reason why your doing a not so great job (in my case anyway). I really want to get a van so im saving up at the moment and work doesnt seem that bad cause there theres gonna be a reward at the end of it. Also im wanting to go on holiday at the end of the year so saving cash for that as well and hopefully may be getting a house with some mates. it all gives me the motivation not to get so wrecked all the time as i need all the money i can get!

Personally i couldnt do the army, but thats me.

[pixiegirl]

Take a extra job, work like fuck, save loads of cash and then just fuck off and see the world.

If you are seriously considering the army then have a chat to my fella, he was in the forces for 7 years. Having helped him reintegrate into civvy life I wouldn't recommend it but he might tell a different story.

[Holeydel]

DJ Process and Pixiegirl have the right idea, give yourself a goal and you'll be rewarded with a sence of accomplisment. Get rid of your dreams and turn them into ambitions. For years mine was to do a skydive, then last year I thought 'Fuck it, why not go get a license?' and I almost have via trips to Lithuania.

Travelling the world is a great idea, but you'll get just as much satisfaction from travelling Europe - which can be dead cheap if you get the right flights. Yesterday i saw Paris return from East Midlands for £10 including taxes, this is a weekend flight too meaning you'd only take the Friday off work. Accomodation can be free if you sign up to couchsurfing.com, making you're whole trip proper el-cheapo - this will give you your travelling fix :bounce_g:

Also read the book Yes Man by Danny Wallace (forget the film), it's not a self help book but inspirational (and funny as fuck) and it's a great idea by someone who's life was going no where, a bit like yours from what you said. raaa

wise words as usual Angel :love:

I think its really worth sitting down and having a long hard think about what you have already achieved

(as there will be loads and loads of things, real possitive impacts you have in friendships / relationships etc)

and the resources you already possess to have gained them,

and then think what it is you want for yourself to make yourself feel more at peace and work towards this,



having said this I do also feel this culture is aimed at making people feel shit about themselves / bored etc in order to encourage them to consume more and spend more on materailistic things in order to 'make themselves feel better' in a quick fix kind of way........ so this isnt what I'm suggesting - but thinking of more intrinsic motivations

In knowledge-sharing communities and organizations, people often cite altruistic reasons for their participation, including contributing to a common good, a moral obligation to the group, mentorship or 'giving back'. work environments, money may provide a more powerful extrinsic factor than the intrinsic motivation provided by an enjoyable workplace.
