I'll talk with you
Although you don't know me.

This means I can provide safe and anonymous internet validation if that's what you're after.

Also I am an excellent listener and producer of phrases such as hmmmm, yes, I see, etc.

Go for it.

(Obligatory /offtopic demand to MTFU, etc. Take it as a given.)

hehe
You'll do. I dunno, I just feel like there is nothing worth striving for anymore. Nothing really stimulates me. I feel numb about everything. blah.

my malaise
My situation. Well, I am married, I have a decent job which I can do forever with better money every year, I have a house, a stupid garden, any gadget I want. Etc.

Yet I don’t listen to music anymore as I can’t be bothered. I love films except I don’t watch any, and the ones I do I see the flaws. Nothing interests me except reading the newspapers.

I don’t read books anymore and I used to read literally, about 3 books a week. Nothing motivates me. I play online games to pass the time but it is all meaningless. I drink wine to blend in with people but it does nothing for me.

I just renegotiated my mortgage, but actually don’t care about it. I don’t care about money at all. I don’t spend any, apart from giving it to my partner for food. I can’t even be bothered to clean my car.

I have a malaise. Yet I don’t know what to do about it.

Book some time off work
And go do something completely different.

Go skydiving in Guam. Go penguin photographing in the Antarctic. Go sit on a nudist beach on a tropical island.

I get the malaise thing from time to time. I've had it for a few months now only unfortunately for me it's landed me in trouble with work and after having been there 2 years, I've had my client account taken off me and I'm on a 3 month probation; all because I haven't got the energy for it.

My advice is - if you can - go do something completely absurd. Totally nuts (in a good way, that is). Something so unbelievably surreal that by the time you get back to your house and your normal life it seems fresh and new.

Sometimes works.

Seems like a good way to spend wages to me.

thank you
You will never believe it, but I have actually been to Guam and I went jetskiing and I hired a ford mustang and got a speeding ticket.

Antartica sounds awesome though. It might be a seasonal thing. I just feel low atm.

Yup
Better than sitting at home and wishing you weren't there. Home is somewhere to look forward to coming back to (or something like that without a preposition at the end), so if it doesn't feel that way now, then it needs to feel that way again.

Getting out there and doing something absurd for a bit can actually make you glad to come back to your sane, fabulous life.

I guess so
I have a holiday booked in a few weeks. Hopefully that will sort me out. I have always wanted to go to Bournemouth.

^ agrees^
take a break. sounds like you're on the prescribed treadmill, also known as a slow-walking death. get out of your routine, it may help. I wish you the best. stay honest with yourself.

You need to do something risky.
Everything is too easy for you, too safe - cheat on your wife or pay to have somebody killed.

Once you run the risk of losing everything, you will start to appreciate everything again.

Maybe you are right
Maybe I need a Tyler Durden in my life.

I was in a state of MEH!
until last week, then I gave up the booze and ciggies. Now my life is full of irritating drama.
