Hi gang,
I feel like I should talk to a psychiatrist. I don't think I have anything extremely wrong with me, no disorders or whatever, but I am quite listless and have a lack of oofmp in my life. I feel like a dead flag. I don't think I'm particularly depressed but I'm just not excited for the future, I don't fear or dread it, I just don't really care
So basically I just want to talk to someone, but I'm wondering if a psychiatrist is the right person for this or if its overkill and I'll be wasting my money, but in the same breath I don't want to piss about

Still looking for some advice

Ive got an engineering masters deg., full time job which is great and pays well, a steady relationship with a girl I love, good health, a kind loving family and whatnot. And I still feel sort of the same way as you do. And were not alone about that.
What I've come to terms with is this: it's absolutely fine to feel like that. However, it is possible to do certain things to make you feel more enthusiastic about life. E.g. sometimes I come up with crazy ideas about stuff I want to do. Things that people might find odd. Like buying a bow saw and axe to go on and manually chop wood in the yard. Just because I could and because I felt like it. Never mind people raising eyebrows. It was a good feeling, the exhausted muscles, and the stacked wood which I made from nature. Whatever, you can do anything. Good luck Anon.
you have nothing to lose

I'm not that setup, biggest deficit is no gf but yeh. I have many dreams, aspirations and plans etc. but no impetus to action them. I try lots of different stuff but nothing gives me any sort of feelibg. I feel like I'm just wasting my life but I don't even feel that upset over that fact, just iced out

Well, do you ever make an effort at anything? I haven't ever met anyone who didn't appreciate the rewards of making an effort. Making an effort with the gf situation definitely feels good when it pays off. Or at work/school. But be careful to spend your energy where it pays off. E.g. don't make an effort about the gf situation by going to the gym. Although it could possibly help, I doubt that it pays off very well. You would be better off actually reading "The Game". Is this making sense anyway?
