Life lately has made me rather...blah. I don't really look forward to coming online because I don't have anything to look forward to. Some days I don't want to even get out of bed because I know I'm just going to go through the same boring routine. The very routine I've done for 7 months now that never changes. Week days I wake up, go to class, come home and do homework, go back to class, and then sleep. Weekends I work with my horse...and do homework.

There is nothing that makes me want to get up in the mornings. I just feel so...blah. Make any sense?

I need something to make me excited again...Something that makes me happy. Something that'll make me look forward to getting up in the mornings.

I just don't know what. There isn't much to do here, unless you like going to bars and strip clubs.

I know it can be tough to just do the same thing each day, I've not had transportation to get anywhere or do anything for a long time (more recently I've tried to get out more and have found a way to take a bus trip out of town) and I'm still in that place a little bit.

I've never been able to really do anything but I'd try to find a hobby, or maybe add something to an otherwise boring routine, like picking a day out of the week to do something totally different if you have time. Talk about going somewhere with friends, like to see a movie or to eat out at your favorite restaurant!

I wish I could be of more help, I'm sorry if this wasn't what you wanted to hear or anything. ^^;

Lol bars and strip clubs. Sounds like where I live.

I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the way, do you have a history of depression? If yes, your problem may be fixed with medications. If no, you may want to go to a doctor to ask about depression, or learn about depression. Your situation sounds like depression, but I may be wrong. From what you've said, you have symptoms.

If you totally don't have depression, and I'm being creepy, try something you've thought was interesting. Or maybe expand your relationships. Make new friends, get closer with the friends you already have. Maybe you could get a job. Or start a long-term project. If you're interested in art, maybe start a painting, or take a class. Maybe a swimming class. Heck, I don't know. Use whatever resources you have to find something. There's drawing, painting, cooking, swimming, baseball, basketball, dancing, reading, jobs, babysitting, classes, people....just a whole world full of crap to do.

I gotta agree with skisers there. You may want to look at the list of depression symptoms. I've felt like you have for years. I don't take depression medication, but I try to do other things. Are you a social person? When you get like this, it's very easy to shut yourself off from people completely, which only makes things worse. I know this sounds crazy, but it helps me when I get like this. Find some free time and take a walk around town. Talk to people, visit stores you wouldn't normally go to, like a curiosity shop, a new bakery, etc. Go to a cafe and find someone sitting alone. Ask to sit down and strike up a conversation with them. Get you and your friends together at your house and make fun of stupid movies. Watch and listen to comedy; laugh. Life doesn't seem as bad when you laugh. Or at least smile, even when you don't feel like it.

I know that was a little scattered but I hope of that helped. Good luck and don't worry about coming back to ask for more advice. Oh! And tell us if you have success! :)

I know exactly what you mean! I went through a period of time where all I wanted was to be alone, stay at home on the weekends, I basically felt bored.. with everything. I suggest collecting some old magazines, make a collage. Sounds stupid? It can actually be really fun. Write down a list of goals, things you want to happen. Make a bucket list. Re-decorate your room, it can give you a new perspective. Light some candles, read a nice book, drink some tea.

If you have a love for animals, such as your hose, maybe you could find any extra time you have and go check out the humane society. There are tons of animals that would love to have someone visit them.

Do small things to make you happy. Donate a couple dollars to the homeless next time you're driving and see someone in need of it. Pick up trash outside.

Exercise is proven to make you happy. Go on a run for 10 minutes, your endorphins will release neurotransmitters making you feel happy! You will get a high from running.

I encourage you to try any of those things, find something to make you happy! You deserve to be. Inbox me if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm always willing to listen.

Hope this helped you! Goodluck!

Just out of curiosity, do you go to any events with your horse? It'll give you something to do if you have the time.

But anyway, I say you should just do something spur of the moment. I was close to getting into the same funk when a few friends and I decided to go to the beach for the weekend. (It was about three days in advance that we planned this haha. It was a nice coincidence we all had off that weekend) It was a really nice break from the same old routine and there were also tons of activities we could do at the beach we couldn't do back home.

If you can't do something like that, do something smaller. Go to a near-by city and go to a museum, aquarium, monument, building with history, something. Try a new hobby. See how you like art, fishing, skating, dance, playing an instrument. All that really matters is that it's new and that you like it.

Salsa is so on point about exercising. It always helps me feel better during the winter after being stuck inside most of the day. Even if I end up feeling like a popsicle at the end lol.

Yeah, gotta love marine based towns. :P But no, I don't have a history of depression. And I have never been depressed. I think it's just a weird case of cabin fever, (winter blues? idk), since I don't get out much.

No, I don't go to events with Seth, my horse, because I haven't done enough basic work with him. I wouldn't even dare to think about it. He still has poor ground manners. lmao

Hmm...The beach sounds lovely. I've been dying to go out to the beach for ages, but it has been too cold for me to get my lazy butt off the couch to actually go out. As for exercising, I exercise 3 to 5 days out of the week, so I'm already getting the "high" from exercise. I go on walks a lot, especially when I need to think on important matters.

Well, you could always try changing it up a bit. Maybe throw in a dance class or some sort of interesting class when you have free time. Start a project to work on any time you've actually got the time. That sounds like a way to kind of throw something in there that might be somewhat interesting. (:
