Backstory: So, i've had my fair share of bad stuff including things like suicidal tendencies and just overall not so fun stuff (which i have now overcome). And i now have a girlfriend, a good job and a loving family, though sometimes i just have the feeling that i just don't want to live the life i live like i do anymore. Can anybody relate to this or have tips?

    Facing a similar situation? No tips but I can relate. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I've always felt like I'm ready to die at any moment, don't know whether that counts as being suicidal. I do agree with the comment above that talked about doing some new activity. Unfortunately, I know that all I'll do is plan to partake in a hobby but never actually do it. There's a time our high school English teacher talked about someone who was at the school some years prior to us. He had leukemia. He died shortly after finishing his final exams. He had got all A's. I remember how she kept on telling us about the things he did, and I remember thinking to myself "if God took my life for that guy's, I really wouldn't mind".
    But anyways, for now I'm with you OP, try to find out what exactly is depressing you, what you're discontent about.

    You've got a lot going for you, you sound smart and pretty much in touch with yourself; have you thought about exploring some of those feelings with your loving family and new girlfriend? They probably care more about you than you realize...give them a chance.

    How do you feel about talking to someone? Do you have experience with a therapist who helped you rise from where you were to where you now are? You've done some really good work, haven't you? You can feel proud.

    I trust you to do that. I do, because you were strong enough to ask the question here. That takes strength and some healthy power, doesn't it. How did that feel to make that positive decision? See? That's why I know you can do this.

    Get a message to me and keep me informed, OK? I'd like to know you. My name is Robin.

    Sounds like you are unfulfilled in some way. Take a look at your life and yourself, is there something missing? Anything you regret not having done? How are your relationships? Does your job feel meaningful, is it something you enjoy. Maybe your missing a spiritual element in your life? Could be any number of things. We all go through periods of discontent. Do something different, something you don't do often or haven't done. Doesn't have to be wild and crazy, but that would be fine as well.
