Hi, 26F here. I feel like a lot of people might relate to this.

Lately, I've found myself stuck in a loop that I can't seem to break out of.

A typical workday looks like this: wake up, go to work, come home, nap, eat, watch YouTube or Netflix, sleep, and then do it all over again.

I spend the entire week looking forward to my days off, but when they finally arrive, I end up doing... nothing. I'm so drained from work that I stay home, lie in bed, watch YouTube, rest, and before I know it, it's time to sleep and get ready for work again.

I feel like I'm on autopilot. Like a robot just going through the motions, or a ghost drifting from one day to the next. It feels as though my life has lost its meaning. I'm just existing rather than living, and I don't want that anymore.

I want to enjoy life again. I want to feel excited about something, to have hobbies, routines, or experiences that make my days feel like more than just work and recovery.

If you've ever been in a similar situation, how did you get out of it? I'd really appreciate any advice, routines, hobbies, mindset shifts, or small changes that helped you break the cycle.

26F here. Lately, I've been feeling so numb. Angry, but numb. I feel like I've lost all my spark. And, all my will to live. I am just waking up and completing the chores everyday. Not living. Recently, a couple of ex-colleagues visited us and we sat down for drinks and food. I don't drink (used to but quit due to PCOD/PMOD/PCOS/PMOS; now I am 4+ years sober). They were talking, enjoying, laughing, sharing jokes, and basically having a very good time. I got up to use the loo and was coming back when I noticed how invisible I was among them. I felt like it won't matter to them if I did not join them. My partner (28M) was there too, and I saw him having a good time with them. I felt the same looking at him.

There's just too much going on in the backend. I have insulin resistance and my PCOD keeps aggravating every now and often. There are financial hardships (but who doesn't have them), and much more that I don't want to write about.

Anyway, how do I regain my spark? How do I feel better? I also feel like I am in an emotional slump and there's no way out. My partner is also an emotionally unavailable person. He's a great guy, we've been together for around 8 years now but I feel like my emotional needs often go unmet and I've made peace with that fact. We have a great time together, I love him so much, and I want to be with him for the rest of my life. But, my emotional turmoils and needs go unattended. After major fights and arguments, I've learnt that it is better to make peace with the fact that he will never change.

I feel like I've drifted from my topic. Can you please help me regain my spark?
