writes:I have this overwhelming feeling, sometimes it fades and sometimes it comes back strong, but I can't ever put my finger on what it is. It's a feeling of something big is missing in my life. I'm always feeling restless, I always want more, I go out and learn and discover and travel, plenty of challenges and opportunities in my job. I exercise a lot, I have valuable times with my friends, and I have even found an adorable boyfriend. (which I am probably too critical on sometimes, but he is even making speechless on those!) I live in my own place, I love my own company, so even that is good at the moment. I wish I could know what it is I need to feel satisfied? I make myself lots of goals and challenges. But I always seem to need something new. I love the excitement of change.Does anyone go through this, what do you do to overcome it, or what is happening? Sometimes the overwhelmingness makes me massively procrastinate too. Because I sometimes don't where to start when I wake up. But I make lists and usually get past it like that.I don't know - it's like a hunger for something but I don't know what :sThanks for responses in advance. Reply to this Question

rosycheeks is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks, yes I have often been told I'm burning the candle at both ends... and funnily enough one of the main reasons I like my boyfriend is because he shows me how to chill out. Rather than be competitive and active and spur me on.
I just don't know, my ideas never stop, I figure out a way to make them happen, then I get annoyed with myself if I don't make them happen. Even if they aren't quite realistic.
But last year I guess I was striving to be where I am now, I should probably just chill and enjoy it for a while. I guess I worry when I 'chill out' I'm wasting time.
I have a great fear of time wasting :(

Whatever your looking for you haven't found. So stop looking and enjoy what you have.
You have an adorable boyfriend so develop that, enjoy being with him.You may just find peace and contentment. I dont mean pipe n slippers time,just more chilled.
You may miss out on something good by constantly looking for your next challenge.

Life is a game that just continues on with bigger and bigger challenges. Treat it as a game, and try not to take things too seriously.
And fulfillment, happiness and joy do not come from external things, they come from you, and only you.
If you rely on external things to make you happy, it will never end.
Be happy because of who you are, seek approval from no one, and consider the "external things" to be a bonus.
