Anyone else sometimes go through periods where everything around you seems to piss you off?

This is gonna be just a rant lol so feel free to ignore. But I feel like lately (idk, couple of months?) I've been getting sick of most of the stuff around me/my routine. Not in the depression kind of way, where you lose energy and drive for stuff you previously like, I've been there and know what that's like. This is more about just growing tired and bothered by the community you live in, your are, the news, the politics of wherever you are, your job feels pointless and unfulfilling, doing the same shit every day you've already done a million times before drives you mad etc.

So yeah, like a combination of boredom, being fed up by the routine stuff in your life and getting pissed/frustrated at the events/people around you? Like you're constantly chasing some excitiment and impulse in life but it never seems to be around. Again, I don't feel depressed lol just fed up with a lot of stuff I guess.

Hello @torpid terrace. Dissatisfied is the word that comes to mind. You sound dissatisfied with what you've built and what has been built around you.

It's ok to bored, frustrated, pissed, and fed up with situations in your life. These are indicators of upcoming change.

Do you change your environment often? For example could you ask to do different tasks at work to keep it fresh? Could you take a vacation? Could you seek out other communities. Could you urge people in the communities that you are in (including yourself) to change?

oh hey sorry, missed the message last night

and I mean yeah, I do kinda try to change things up a bit but I feel like I always keep running into a wall of there just not being enough options for that in my vicinity (a small town in a backwater country lol). Like it feels like I've been everywhere, seen every nook of the town, done basically everything appealing to me you know. I've been trying to go for walks recently and stuff but realistically there isn't many interesting places to go.

Work wise I've tried asking about a wider range of tasks but it seems like there isn't enough other stuff for me to do I guess. And as for vacations, yeah I love to travel when circumstances allow for it (money, available time off at work and practicalities like that) but it is always just temporary before coming back to the same old place/routine/everything

also adding the general bullshit happening around here every single day recently in the news and stuff just keeps getting on my nerves lol
