Are you living in a constant state of
emptiness, unable to describe your feelings, feel there is nothing to look
forward to, don’t feel well, but know you’re not sick? if you answer yes,
this quick screen may provide some insights for moving forward. Many are
struggling emotionally and languishing (e.g., feeling blah) during
unprecedented uncertainty driven by a pandemic, global warming, civil
unrest, war, economic turmoil, and work and home challenges. Languishing
is not a mental illness; it’s an unpleasant emotional state that hangs
around like a low-pressure weather system, holding a person back from
finding joy and seeing opportunity. Use this quick
screen to explore what anchors may be contributing to your languishing
feelings. ·
Fear – some fear is stopping you from
acting ·
Social connections gaps – some feelings of
being socially disconnected, perhaps isolated, and lonely in one or more
areas of your life ·
Regret – feel stuck in the past or struggling
with some inaction This is not a clinical measure nor a diagnostic tool; it is meant only to be a screening tool.
