Not depressed exactly. Not anxious. Just... flat. Going through the motions. Waiting for something to change without knowing what. ILTY helps you dig into the stagnation.
You're not in crisis. Nothing is acutely wrong. You go to work, pay your bills, see your friends. From the outside, everything looks fine. But inside, there's a flatness that's been there so long you almost forgot it wasn't always this way.
No direction. No excitement. No thing you're building toward. The days blur together—Monday looks like Friday looks like Sunday. You're not unhappy exactly. You're just... not anything. Going through the motions of a life that feels like it's happening to you rather than being lived by you.
The worst part is the guilt. You have enough. You should be grateful. People have real problems—this isn't one of them. But the flatness is its own kind of suffering, and dismissing it just adds another layer of stuckness.
ILTY helps you dig underneath the stagnation. Because 'stuck' isn't an emotion—it's a symptom. Something is keeping you in place, whether it's fear, grief, disconnection from what you want, or something you haven't identified yet. Understanding what 'stuck' is made of is the first step toward movement.
Stuck isn't the real feeling. Underneath it might be fear, grief, disappointment, or disconnection. ILTY helps you dig past the numbness to what's actually going on.
Somewhere along the way, you stopped wanting things. Dreams got put in a drawer. ILTY helps you remember what you used to want and whether it still matters.
You've been running on default settings for so long you've forgotten they can be changed. Examine the routines, commitments, and relationships you're maintaining out of inertia rather than choice.
You don't need a dramatic life overhaul. Sometimes unstuck starts with one tiny change. ILTY helps you identify the smallest possible shift that could create momentum.
Feeling stuck when your life is 'fine' creates guilt. But emotional stagnation is real suffering regardless of your circumstances. ILTY takes it seriously.
We want to be clear about our limitations:
Not always, but they can overlap. Depression involves persistent sadness, loss of interest, changes in sleep and appetite, and sometimes hopelessness. Feeling stuck is more about directionlessness and flatness. If the stuckness persists for more than a few weeks and is accompanied by other symptoms, it's worth getting screened for depression.
Not knowing what you want is more common than knowing. Most people who seem directed are just following a default path, not a deeply chosen one. Start by exploring what you don't want, what used to excite you, and what you'd do if outcome didn't matter. Direction often emerges from exploration, not analysis.
No. Stagnation creates the illusion that change is impossible because nothing has changed in so long. But the length of time you've been stuck says nothing about how quickly things can shift. A single conversation, decision, or realization can create movement after years of stillness.
