Am i making progress?

Question

I have been depressed for about a year now, i go to therapy and take meds, and i know a lot of the problems and insecurities i had are now gone, or very insignificant but the fact that i still think life is boring and I have no real goal, nor do i care to make any goals, it seems like i just live day by day and do only the necessary stuff to get through with life and not be homeless. Am i making progress? Or not? And is this feeling that life isnt worth living cause i have no goals, and its boring a symptom of depression? or jst my personality?

Answer 1

Many men have tried to discover the true meaning of life. None, have come up with an answer. How you live your life is entirely your own. There may be rules, laws and expectations that may be unrealistic but overall, the decisions in life are up to you. Try to surround yourself by as many things that make you feel good. There is no goal in life, if you'd like to find a goal in life, find things that make you happy and live up to societies expectations by working so that you can preserve what you love.

Answer 2

You are definitely making progress if you notice a lot of the problems and insecurities you had are now gone,  There is still work to do.

You need to figure out what is important to you.  What would make you feel happy.  What can you do so your live won't be so boring.  Make small goals that will be easy for you to accomplish. If you find yourself smiling, remember what it was that put that smile on your face so you can make it happen again.  Good Luck.

Answer 3

I have the same problem, but my counselor has helped me out a lot. I'm waiting to get chosen for an LPN class, meanwhile I'm taking other classes so I will be farther ahead than the other LPNs.

Even though life seems good sometimes, I still feel like I'm kidding myself. A career change this late in life (I'm 48)

Sometimes I wonder if it's depression or the meds that take away my ambition.
