Re: The need to constantly consume
I've been where you are many times in my life. Each time I had to remind myself that I was caught in a circle of sameness. Same problem and same solution. The problem was inside of me and the solution I was seeking , or so I thought, was inside of me as well.
Each time I came out of the cycle was because I ventured outside of myself and into the world of other people. Doing for someone; caring for someone; associating with new people - Take yourself out of your routine and volunteer for a couple of hours at an animal shelter, a homeless shelter, shelving books at the library or where ever there's an opportunity. Choose one that won't be stressful to you but will be appreciated by others.
Soon, someone will give you a thankful smile and you'll be able to smile in return. That little spark of light will be your beginning.
