A small little thing from me, simply because I have nothing better to do. Haha, pretty new to the forums honestly and I kind of stopped paying attention to this site in general till recently... Anyway onto the subject!

You know that feeling you get sometimes where it feels like something is wrong or missing or just messed up in your life/day/week/etc but you don't know what it is? You sit there and think on it and ponder about it but the more you do the more it brings you down and the more you start to feel... Unhappy? Upset, sad, depressed, I wouldn't go as far as saying depressed but it is for sure making me sad. I'm not sure if it's because I feel alone or if my shoes were too tight today or what... I just feel... Sad... And I haven't a clue why. I'm generally a very happy and optimistic kind of guy where it takes an army to bring me down to the say 'sad' category but... I don't know... I've felt this way for about three days and I can't seem to pick myself up. I've tried talking to friends and family and nothing seems to help at this point... I keep having the same uneasy feeling and I keep trying whatever I can to figure out what the hell is making me feel this way... I know I'm not a sad or upset person, I'm NEVER like that... I'm always the one who helps everyone feel better. Anyway, that's it for me... You can reply if you wish but you don't have to, just throwing this out here cause I'm sure everyone has felt this way once in a while.

well at least you had a smile on your face for a second right, it will pass. A lot of people go through this. Could be anxiety of a mid life crisis, where you just feel stuck in a rut, and you're at an age where you thought you will have accomplished certain things by now, maybe saw your life in a different way at this age but it isn't. . . Utilize what you have, you are an optimist, rent some good movies, that will get your mind off it. Four Christmas was a really funny flick.

when in doubt, watch a reality tv show and you will realize how smart you really are, and no matter what; you'll never look like such a kook like those fools on tv.

Haha, true, true... As I said before I've tried talking to people about it and yeah it might be some type of midlife crisis ordeal... I still want it to end! Heh, it'll pass I'm sure but until it does it's still quite a miserable feeling and one that I am not use to one bit. I'll take your advice though, I refuse to watch reality TV but I'll watch a funny movie! Reality TV makes me sick with how rich people can get for being simpletons.

We all go through phases in our lives, and if you are hitting the midlife stages, it could be a part of it........if you have given up things to achieve other things..........you never know it could be you sleep sequences.......many things as long as it doesn't last two weeks to six months it is perfectly normal......if it lasts longer I would speak to my doctor it could also be physical.....as some changes in our bodies cause such things and no I am not talking about a period but that does do it in females....at certain ages we can start to develop things like diabetes.....changes in certain levels our bodies used to maintain.......it could just be a passing feeling as well........good luck to you in figuring out your mystery

Definitely not midlife as midlife begins around the age of 45 and ur profile states 22......but you might wish to geta physical if it persists

Yes yes, understandable. I plan to wait it out to see what comes up. It's an annoying feeling at most, I don't know if it's a sleep problem... Haha, but I see what you're saying. Maybe if I eat my sorrows away! Mmmm ice cream... But we'll see. Christmas is coming up so maybe after that passes I'll feel better.

Haha, yes I'm twenty-two. I always joke with people saying how I'm probably having my midlife now so I'll only live to be around fifty.

I felt that way right before I became a nihilist.

Fine line to walk, don't become a nihilist, nihilism doesn't help anything. Try something I never could do, seperate logic from your life for a little while.

Manopause is a wierd thing. It will leave you a changed man. Not neccesarily a bad thing. Just ride it out. It will pass in time.

The French might call what you
are feeling 'ennui'.
A..vague dissatisfaction with..things.

Perhaps it is a premonition state of some sort, a foreboding if you will. Maybe it will present itself but maybe the way you are paying attention to how you are feeling has way-laid what ever it was you are feeling unsettled about. Perhaps your intuition will soon realize that the 'event' has passed or isn't going to happen and you will naturally become your usual optimistic self again.
