Newby here!

[Se****]

Hey everyone, newby here!  One thing about me (and biggest reason I'm on here) is I have lost joy in almost everything for the past year.  Feel like I have zero purpose and don't take pleasure in much of anything anymore, well except my dogs     Hoping to have some positive conversations and insights from others who may be experiencing the same.  I have been trying meditation, but not quite picking it up.  I'm starting to delve into visualization techniques, but just starting a book on the subject.  So again, just seeking positive vibes and input from others and hopefully I can return the positivity as well!

Hi.  I can relate that joylessness.  I've only just recently been able to start climbing out of that swamp.  See you around.

So glad you are positively connecting with your dogs. Settle/nestle/snuggle with your dogs after spiritually cleaning/clearing your space in love, ask for clarity, rest, wait patiently very patiently, and the answer(s) will come. Is it possible you are feeling someone else's lack of joy and need to love that assignment?

Well I’m putting on a smile to add value to others everyday, and I do. But it’s wake up and oh no another day and no hope for a better future. I failed to achieve my dream in real life. So in sleep are the only dreams I still have, mostly reminiscing of things past and regrets. 
 

I’ll bet you’re young enough still to break through your current slump. 
 

I wish I could tell my younger self to follow their instincts more and also persevere with hard things to make small but daily progress.

Hello Sedwards!

Knowing this emptiness, personally what helped me was to remember what I liked to do as a child, and to get back into those hobbies, for example learning new things in computer science, video editing, discovering linux or something else, and really doing it just for fun, and strangely enough it awakens curiosity and we know that curiosity is the foundation of a "happy" life. I hope this can help you ! Good luck in any case and have a great day :)
