I feel like all I do is live but Im not really living.
I want to be able to go outside of the house and go anywhere I want without wondering how many people will be there. I want to get into the shape I was 2 years ago by going to the gym and not being afraid to go. I want to go in my car and drive anywhere I want without worrying about what happens if I get lost, I pay money to own the car so why cant I use the car and go out places? I deserve to be able to live my life like everyone else does? What is the point of living if you dont really feel alive?
Sorry for the vent and thanks for listening...

I have asked this question too...but the truth is that life is worth something for us all. but we have to find what that is for ourselves. I am not really feeling alive nor am I feeling like I want to die...i just am...but I have to believe there is a reason for us or I will go insane. you will find that even the smallest things in life can bring us the greatest joy...all you have to do is look.......

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...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
