  • It's normal when you are depressed and at a crossroads in your life. Indesivice behavior is often the result of depression, I used to do this; being in the grocery store, although hungry and intending to buy groceries for the week, I'd end up just grabbing one or two things and leaving, frustrated (after aimlessly looking for an hour) This type of behavior was during the "winter" of my life. I also lost passion for simple things, that used to make me happy, be it music or hobbies.

    What you're going through, sounds pretty rough and as if happening all at once, it's unavoidable, you are going to be preoccupied with what's going on. Even if mental anguish is evident, the extreme toll it takes with such loss can cause you to subconsciously lose passion and remain numb/depressed. You lose sight of what you would enjoy, if you were happy and in a good place in your life. 25 is often a tough age, mentally. It's generally the age we are finding out what we "want" to do with our lives; career choices, relationships and any other choices and decisions that define us or lifestyle. There's nothing wrong with you, specifically. It's often more stressful if you feel or see it as everyone else has it "figured out" and you are left wondering what will become of you.

    As far as ideas, you may need change or a plan, that's feasible. Solutions that are attainable to you. What is the main thing that keeps you in neutral?
