Unsure

For the past week or so I've been feeling very strange and I can't seem to get over it! My therapist said he thinks it is (at least partially) because I am bored.  I kind of agree with him, but I also don't see it as boredom because I never remember boredom feeling this bad/weird.  I just wake up with this weird pressure around my eyes, feeling very tired/worn out, and very out of sorts.  And I feel that way all day! It is really hard to handle…  I haven't experienced boredom like this before and in general I didn't think that I got bored that easily, so I have my doubts about that.  I know I am worrying too much about it and that just makes the feeling more intense.  I haven't been meditating for a couple of weeks.  I don't really know what I am asking for here haha.  I know that if I felt okay about feeling this way then it would be okay… It seems like it is very difficult for me to accept not feeling up to par; I know I will accept it eventually and everything will be fine, but it is proving rather difficult to let go.


Love Kevin

I think you should go to a Doctor and get a physical check-up.
There could be any number of reason's for feeling like you do
and you need to rule out that you are not actually unwell.
You may have type of flu -it could be eyestrain -or depression
as apposed to boredom.

Also-it could be planetary and if so will soon pass!

thank you sandy! =)

yes, I assume that it is some combination of boredom and depression because I have felt similar to this when my depression was at its worst.  At first I did think it could be physical, but I have gotten pretty good at telling the difference between physical/psychological symptoms and an illness. I think it will pass soon, if I let it hahaha.


Love Kevin

I sure hope it passes soon, Kevin.
Yes-I like that “if I let it  hahaha!”

It's good that you can still joke -and the statement is quite true-
we do have to will to take control ourselves.

Wishing you peaceful, easy feelings,

love from sandy
