Life is wonderful, but sometimes our motivations fade and with them our desire to live. In this Psychology-Online article we want to explain to you why you feel tired of living and what you can do about.
The feeling of being tired of life in general is usually associated with depressive symptoms. It can appear for no apparent reason or have some reason, such as:
You may feel this way because you are tired of living with your parents. Perhaps you have very different ways of seeing life and that makes coexistence difficult. If your parents are strict and you feel “imprisoned” the associated stress is probably affecting you negatively.
When you don’t have the opportunity to live independently, either because of age or because finances don’t allow it, perhaps you can try telling them how you feel. Don’t be afraid to explain what is happening to you or ask for help. You may not get everything you would like, but don’t rule out reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties to some extent.
Maybe your case is that you live with an alcoholic and everything that this disorder is associated with. It is not an easy or pleasant situation due to mood swings. Their behavior may interfere with or limit your life in some way.
If the person suffering from the disorder is your partner, it is important that you agree with him or her to seek appropriate treatment. If he does not accept, it is best to consider whether to continue with that relationship.
If it is a family member who lives with you, ask other family members or acquaintances for help. The ideal in these cases is to seek professional help but it is not always easy for the affected person to decide to do so. In the following article you can see more information about .
Another problem that is currently occurring due to the economic crisis and lack of employment is that couples have to abandon their habitual residence due to not being able to pay the mortgage or rent. It happens then that they have to return home to your parents or in-laws and this usually leads to difficulties in coexistence.
If this is your case, since you are not at home you must adopt the rules or customs of the owners and understand that they also find the new situation complicated. Depending on what your in-laws are like, there will be the possibility of reaching an agreement that benefits everyone. In the following article you can see the best possible. If this is not possible, think that it is a temporary situation and in the meantime, if possible, look for an alternative.
As we have seen before, the feeling of being tired of living is usually associated with a depressive condition. When we have depression, depending on its severity, the symptoms are more or less intense and occur for a more or less prolonged period.
