As you can see... to determine what is going in your life a little self-examination may be required. Just writing down these questions and your answers to them may help you get in touch with what is going on with you.
And another thing.. ask yourself where do you really want to be living.. city, country, mountains, ocean, seasons, tropical, desert, near a river, lake, running water, with lots of people around or few people around? Also ask yourself where do you want to be in 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years and 5 years. Look at this from several perspectives (realtionships, work, location on the planet). Also ask yourself, if money were of no concern what would you want to be doing with your life? Sometimes a childhood dream is something, a potential unyet realized. Take your time to sort through these questions and how you answer them as the answers may change from time to time as your own awareness increases. No, you are not crazy. You are seeking and that is a good step.

Are you depressed? Yes may be but am not sure as I dont know if this feeling is because am actually depressed or something else as yo
u can see i am very confused
Is your spirit challenged? dont know what this means but probably no
Do you feel you are contributing something worthwhile to others? i always try to with whatever i can but most of the time i fail
Do you get enough rest? yes enough for me
Do you drink or use drugs that cause depression? never in my life
Are you challenged in your work? no work is quite relaxed
Do you have a satisfying relationship? not yet in a relationship
Are you where you want to be in your life? no that is i guess one of the primary reason for the way i feel but again i dont really know where i want to be as if i think of all the material things like getting a good career and earning lots of money and this and that then that doesnt really entertain me anymore as i said in my first post that it feels as if its not worth it and again it makes me confused because if not the material things i want then what else?
Are you looking for a change in location, work or in a relationship. Not really dont have preferences anymore regarding my work or location or relationship.
How is your health? great
Do you get enough sunshine (40 minutes a day)? yeah
Do you exercise? yes
Are you involved in your community, church or within a circle of friends? yes
How are your social skills? not an expert but just enough to get along
Are you in an exestential depression pertaining to the meaning of life? yes i believe so but again not sure if thats what i seek
Do you seek a different lifestyle then the one you are living now? yes may be as it relates to the answers that i gave above.
How is your financial situation? pretty good
Are you doing what you really want to be doing in your life or do you know what you really want to do? i dont really know. confused
Are you feeling overwhelmed? cant decide
