I'm feeling really melancholy today (pmt doesn't help). I was wondering whether anyone else wonders if this is it? Is this all life has to offer? Getting up, going to work, struggling to pay bills ect. Constantly feel like I'm on a hamster wheel sometimes.
I know that I am luckier than a lot of other people, I have reasonable health, a son, family etc.
I think I feel unfulfilled. |

"only you can make change happen  x "
I am sure when my son is old enough to be left at home, I will have more of a social life, freedom etc. I would love to do an open university course but it's not possible at the moment.
I'm feeling sorry for myself today! X |

"I would guess most people feel that way now and then.
I guess the solution is to fill your non-work time with interesting things and people - try to plan nice stuff to look forward to.
But that is also part of the problem, being a single mom, there is no free time. I know that will change in a few years though.
I think I might have a look on groupon or wow her when I get paid and treat myself to a spa hotel or something x

Sounds to me like your feel unfulfilled in your life and your life is lacking meaning. The only way to change the way your thinking and feeling is to make some changes to your life in a way that makes it feel more purposeful. Take a moment alone in peace and quiet and have a good look at your life and try and imagine what would make you feel more content and fulfilled. Then take the steps forward to achieve these, every step in the right direction no matter how small will is a positive move and keep doing this until you find a place where your life has more meaning and contentment. Only you can change your life for the better as your the captain of your own ship. |

A lot of people don't even recognise there is a wheel.
What would happen if you did something completely different to your normal behaviour? |
