    You would be surprised how things can change in a very short time for the better. I've seen it with my own two eyes. It sounds like a bullshít cliche but you truly don't know what's around the next corner so you keep plugging away and try the usual meeting new people, maybe changing jobs, courses etc etc.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Go and visit somewhere where you can really appreciate how lucky you are. I'm not trying to preach, far from it. However, if you perhaps did some light volunteer work abroad it could do you the world of good. Good luck with everything.

    Yeah that happens to me every 5 years or so and the one thing i have noticed is everytime it happens i have a new and better outlook on life. I just take it as a sign that things are going to change.

    I think many of us go through this sooner or later and when this happens its time for a change, try to analyze whatd u like and do it. Try to find new things that make u happy and go for them. We have only one life, so we should live it the way we feel better. :)

    I feel the same every Sunday afternoon too. A whole week of nothing but work to face.

    OP where is your husband? You don't mention him in the post. I agree with the other posters, you have lost your jest for life. Think about all the things you've always wanted to do but haven't/didn't/couldn't and do at least one of them. Get back that part of you that you've forgotten about.

    Its nightcourse time of year so if you have an interest in photography or film or anything at all then take an evening course but make it a totally self indulgent course. Nothing practical. Just something you've always thought you would like to try out.

    Where is your husband? How come you're not doing something with him? Have you no interests or hobbies to persue? What do you mean by not much family support? Can you go visit them?
    There are many, many ways to fill your time, it just takes a bit of imagination and the will to try.
    Self pity will get you no where, it's time to make a change.

    Maybe join some organisation or club that gets people doing things on a Sunday, get you outof the house etc.

    Sounds like you need a hobby.

    Go skydiving.

    I wouldn't do it myself, but I've heard that doing something which scares the living crap out of you gives you quite an injection of an appreciation of just how good you have it.

    Heck, you might even enjoy it!

    NTM

    Skydiving is an excellent suggestion, I've done it and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

    How about travel? Go live in some foreign country or three for a few months. That should shake things up nicely.
