OT – Feelings of Melancholy, Life Plans Going Forward

[Eugene]

[quote]Religion – Catholic. I have always wanted to experience true spirituality, blind faith, whatever you want to call it. Never really felt it, perhaps a consequence of too much logic based education reprogramming this malleable brain. I enjoy a good sermon and would like to find and attend a true non-denomination church.[/quote]

How about trying Zen Buddhism?

It may not make you feel less directionless, but it’ll teach you to embrace and enjoy it.

Get more vitamin D, either the real thing by being out in the sun of take the supplement. A lot of folks are deficient. Also, I agree with scaredy about not taking prescription drugs for depression. Do not let your doc put you on anti-depressants. Even the new versions only promote more chemical dependency and might even destroy your body’s ability to produce serotonin on its own. Exercise, good work and good nutrition are the way to balance. Good luck.

I went through a similar episode, and still am somewhat – lots of anxiety. I have learned to control it through a variety of methods. One thing I learned to do is not focus on the negative (acknowledge the possibility even if remote, but don’t dwell).

Stay on the Sunny Side of Life.

Life is a process, a journey, pain and doubt are good because they remind us that we are alive.

I have little advice other than what you are experiencing are blessings as opposed to curses, you need not act on them just acknowledge them.

Mid life crisis gives way to apathy and acceptance, resist both but reasonable at the same time. We share some doubts but are miles apart on others, neither means anything, it’s just the journey, they are all different yet all the same.

Here’s how I dealt with my mid life crisis, perhaps my experience can help. A few months ago I allowed myself to fall in love, tonight I had some friends over over and I uncorked a decade old margeaux, tomorrow I take on a few work related demons. That’s it, no big secret, no huge changes, just run at it with a full head of steam and whatever happens, happens. Don;t worry about changing the world, just worry about your world, and never fret about your children pulling away from you, they are supposed to do that at some point, it is the way of things.

I found my Tao Te Chi that I had misplaced during my move a year and a half ago, go buy one yourself, it helps to feel happy about the disorder of things, even if you are catholic, a little Taosim never hurts.
