Ho hum

I am feeling ho hum. Anyone else? It must be an old habit to feel this way and a feeling i would medicate with coffee, to not feel.

Feeling ho hum keeps me from applying for jobs in my arena, the creative professions, like advertising and media.

I can continue in my old business that i own but have not worked in over a year, but i have no self-esteem.

Where am i? Where did i go? What do i become?

I would rather escape.

Is this when people bake or get involved with something that otherwise makes them feel good?

Which, in the past, for me, would have been, shopping, smoking, getting together with a guy, i.e., getting into trouble of some sort?

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is there anything that helps that creepy crawly tingly feeling in the legs. It's now in my arms too.  Started getting this when doc put me on AntiPsychotics.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
