I'm 36 now, and not that I do worry very well, but I do find myself pondering what's next for me? where do I go from here? This doesn't happen all the time, but I have noticed it happening over the last couple of years with monotonous regularity. It may only be me, but does anyone else feel like this? I know I need a kick up the arse in my life. Even the drugs don't appeal to me too much anymore...
I dunno.. I show... lip qivers a softer, gentler side to my nature... and people..nose runsand people.. just trample all over your feelings...tears well up...like fucking big insensitive elephants... I'm off to the pub.
Do you have a life threatening illness?Are you broke and homeless begging for scraps of food? Are you frail, elderly and all alone in the world? Do rats scurry across your dirty, damp bedclothes in a war torn village? Have you lost relatives to ethnic cleansing, war, famine or illness? I think not. Your fellnig a little low, big fucking deal, get over it as am sure i will have by bedtime.
What else is going on with you? Are you married? Do you have any kids? I think a lot of people start to feel like this when they get into their thirties and aren't in the place they thought they'd be. This is especially true around the Holidays. I think it's easy for people to say, "suck it up and get on with life", but I'm sure they've also felt like this at one time or another.
Well said Jefe. I'm in a stagnating relationship with my long-term girlfriend, which is now really more financially viable as opposed to physically singing, if you get my drift. I was married, no kids, still good friends with my ex, good family support it's just little things that niggle me now, I also think about my past a little more lately (I was involved in Gulf War 1) and I feel pretty bored with the mundane. I used to be an 'action addict' always trying to get my kicks, but with age and bodily shortcomings I know I'm slowing down... I suppose my mortality is becoming more apparent.
ok sweetie, on a more serious note.If you really are feeling down in the dumps and bored with life you need change.Think about the things that are good and the things that are not so good and see what you can do. Maybe move somewhere else, closer to family if you don't live close atm.If your relationship isn't going anywhere and you don't think it can be salvaged get out and start a new one.I've seen what you look like and you seem like a nice guy on line so you won't have any problems in that department.Your still young enough to start afresh and have kids if you want them ( they really do bring a whole new meaning to life). Don't feel blue, things could be worse, you could be Horus or Dweebo then you wold ahve worries. And my cloud is still there but i got a big umbrella. :wink:
Maybe killing terrorists in this Iraq War game will cheer you up: http://www.goyk.com/flash.asp?path=702
No Dan, Dubya was there in a peacefull, advisory role only. I refuse to accept that dubya could kill anyone.
Dubya - I see people everyday that ask the same questions during their mid thirties. The answer is YES many people feel like you. Interesting ideas about stages in life can be found by reading Erik Eriksons works. He was a brilliant Psychologist who founded the 8 stages of life theory. You might find it enlightening. Another possibility for mid 30ths funk is a based on attachment theory. Were you raised by your natural mother your entire childhood? Did your family move often? Did you have problems with chronic ear infections or other health issues as a child? Just curious. Would like to know more. .....and don't rule out good old fashioned depression. Seratonin deficeincies makes everything suck. Barry
I used to think that something was wrong with me because, at 33, I've never been married. I don't think it's all that uncommon for people to wait until their mid to late 30's to marry these days. In fact, I'm sure of it. Maybe you did it too soon the first time. Check this out: http://wtop.com/index.php?sid=348903&nid=104 There's no reason at all why, at 36, you should have any kind of 'bodily shortcoings'. At 36 you should be in about the best shape of your life. This chick is 36 and plays Womens's Professional Football http://www.womensportsonline.com/herriges.shtml At 36, this guy competed in the 1988 Seoul Olympics: http://www.olympic.org.nz/AthleteProfile.aspx?ID=357&UICode=Athletes&ContactID=1175 Mark Messier is 43 years old. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=0010 Jose Canseco is 40 years old http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/news/2000/09/13/canseco_ap/ But of course... sadly, the great Rick Flair died at 36, but that was from an overdose. http://users.vnet.net/shogun/flair.html So. Don't smoke crack. Get off your ass and exercise a little and you'll probably be just fine. 36 is young, unless you're a horse: http://equisearch.com/shop/newproducts/agerelationship012403/ Barry probably knows more about this. I think he's actually a shrink. Maybe he can perscribe some medication for you. If not, I'm sure Dwaine could Fed-Ex you something.
you sure about that? read that carefully or just turn on the Tv and watch wrestling beacause if he's dead then his ghost is still wrestling
Whoops. My bad. I don't know shit about "rastling". I got him confused with Brian "The Loose Cannon" Pillman. http://www.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingPillman/oct6_pillman.html
