I listen to this song alot. I just feel like this so much. I feel lost all the time. And i am finding myself cutting everything and modt everyone out of my life. I dont lke how i feel the fact that i am not feeling when i should.
Feeling lost is such a floaty and difficult feeling. On top of feeling lost, you are cutting out things that could be tethers and foundations for you. It’s like walking in a maze and not knowing which direction to go, after walking long enough, you don’t know where you came from or where you’re going or why you’re there at all. In that maze of confusion it’s easy to give up and want to just hide away, to cut even the remaining ties to just fall into the oblivion of confusion. I understand that feeling lost can be so disorienting. And not feeling when you should could add shame to wanting to feel things you can’t right now. Putting pressure and morality on emotions adds a pressure to react in certain ways, when really we may need some compassion and grace.
In the middle of the lost maze, know you are not alone. I have gone through existential questioning and been hospitalized for the spiral it led me down. I felt utterly and completely alone, lost, and hopeless. You will find a time when you don’t feel lost all the time. Bit by bit, small step by small step, you will find little glimmers of direction and purpose as you live your life to serve others and find things you’re passionate about. I can promise you, your life has meaning, value, and purpose even in these lost feelings. You are a wonderful human being who will find joy and direction again. The maze is not all dead-ends, there IS a way out. I fully believe you have everything necessary to find your way out of the maze to lead an incredible life.

Hi friend! I’m so glad you shared your feelings with us and gave us the chance to send some encouragement your way! Music is such a powerful tool, to make us feel understood and help us vocalize our feelings. I remember times where I was relating to this song so much as well. I understand you are feeling lost and sometimes not feeling at all and how cutting things and people out can emphasize those feelings even more. I want you to know that you are not alone in what you are feeling. I have felt the same and I know it can be so hard to truly believe that there is a way out - but there is! Life can be so confusing and feel like a hopeless maze but I want to encourage you to start with small things to find meaning and value in your life. What helped me was to find little “anchors”. The next album of your favorite band you look forward to. A food place you really want to try out. Reaching out to one friend to get coffee. Starting with small things like this can help you feel like you gain some foundation back. Just know that your feelings are absolutely valid. You are a wonderful human who deserves joy and feeling a sense of direction again. Your life has so much value and meaning even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes. Keep reaching out - we are here to listen and support you! You got this!
