We've all been there, brother.

I went through the same exact thing a year or so ago. It feels like your body is just on autopilot. Getting in that rut is very real.

I sifted through my life and found what was holding me back so I changed them, one of which was my job. I stopped trying to control every part of life and just let it come to me.

Then, I went harder at the gym, ate better, and transformed my body. From that, my confidence in all aspects of life went up



The job aspect is definitely something I would need to fix if I decide to try to keep living.

I agree with your analogy. My body feels like it's on autopilot, hell my whole life feels like it's on autopilot. But there is no spark in my life. My brain feels either numbed or just completely dead. And I have no answers how to get out of it.

You need to realize that you are different from your thoughts. You may feel completely different in 2 months and be loving every day. Your brain can throw some stuff at you sometimes.

I'm not a professional but if you need to talk to one, there's no shame in it.

Just from my experience, these are the main things I focused on:

1. Evaluate the things bringing you down, like the job

2. Get consistent sleep, eat well, and get good workouts in. It helps your brain chemistry and makes you happier. I go to the gym everyday to manage my sanity. I've even made a group a friends in there and met a woman with mutual interest. A lot of the people in gyms, especially those you'll see all the time, are there for similar reasons.

3. Don't think about the lack of spark. The sparks will present themselves.

4. If you watch tv/movies, put some comedies on and get some laughs in.

Life has felt this way at times for me too man. Find yourself a community to belong to and limit the amount of time you spend on "social media." It's called that, but it's the opposite of how we were meant to communicate with one another.

A "community" can come in many forms too... one friend or group of friends, one family member, etc. This will give you something to look forward to and purpose. For me, running physically changes my brain chemistry when I'm feeling down.

If you're writing this, you care, and if you care you're on the right track.
