Sometimes I have to try things quite a few times and stay open and willing for a lil while before I say it's not for me. Also, feelings pass, eventually.
Have you tried reading spiritual books for a new perspective on what's going on with you and the world you live in? These helped me, but change for me is ongoing and gradual. When I regress or feel stuck, I go back to the basics. Check for hygiene, nutrition, sleep, relationship with a higher power, and helping someone other than myself.
Those are real popular ones lately, but if you feel a bit more analytical or intellectual, The Road Les Traveled by M. Scott Peck, M.D. was big back in the days. Don Miguel Ruiz has quite a few books, and I find his the easiest to digest and apply.
I'm not religious. But I go to church now and then to strengthen a personal relationship with God. It's a nice way for me to spend my Sunday's, meditate, pray, and hear something positive. I don't call Jesus my God, but I grab onto the hope, message, and direction.
Sometimes things that feel good I can't have anymore. And that can be people, a place, or thing. I'm looking for a way to find a balance that works for me. My purpose and passion is my reason to wake up, and that was not decided for me by a parent, judge, therapist, teacher, or Pastor. But I allow all to suggest things to me. Because left to my own denial and dishonesty, I'll be dead.
