A deeper meaning?

Most of the time I'm quite relaxed, I feel calm. But there are some days I feel there's something missing, like there's something deeper that I'm supposed to know or do that I just can't put my finger on. Sometimes it can get pretty intense, it's like a physical energy that's bubbling inside but I still don't know what it is or what I'm supposed to do with it. No matter what I try, I can't seem to put these thoughts aside, I'm forced to experience it. Not knowing what to do leads me to a certain state of 'depression'.
Is this something everyone goes through? If so, how do I get through these times?

If it is deeper than your current state, thus restricting you from knowing/putting your finger on it, then the simple solution is to go deeper.

No matter what I try, I can't seem to put these thoughts aside, I'm forced to experience it.

Ask yourself who is forcing yourself to experience these thoughts.

Not knowing what to do leads me to a certain state of 'depression'.

Ask yourself who is leading you to a state of depression.
Ask yourself who is creating the state of depression.

Is this something everyone goes through?

Not everyone goes through these things. Many turn back. Many don't even begin.

If so, how do I get through these times?

Go through them and you will know how to go through them.

raining... There is something missing. It's knowing your inner self, your essence, your being, which is pure and whole. You can come to find this missing piece and feel it as real and full within you. Meditation is the way.

Here's a simple practice you might like: Three Steps into your true nature - http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3680

why is it. the deepest i can dig is pure non-judgmental love
should i start looking for my star or something

Energy is energy. It's neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative. Energy doesn't think, doesn't have logic. Energy simply follows its nature - it flows from here to there. It's when we try to keep it for ourselves that it becomes stagnant. It's there for a reason and it belongs to the Universe. If you feel it you can do something with it. Suck it down, spin it around, send it back out again. Maybe if you send it out after your answers it might bring them back to you?

I like those thoughts / ideas, greenslade, I just might try something like that next time it happens to me. Might even put it to music...

Thank you all for the help. Xan, I'm going to try the meditation. Greenslade, I think I know what you mean...I will definitely try that next time. Carpark, you're right. I need to contemplate this more...

Hi rainingdrizzle ... welcome to the community ... I love your username ... brilliant!

I am not able to offer you any advice on what you are experiencing however I would like to say I think it is great that you are able to express your feelings in the way you do. As I was readng your post I was able to feel what you were meaning ... thats very cool ... I have experienced similiar and if it feels physical then expend it through physical means is my way ... you know what works for you in that area whether it be walking swimming, running or some floor excercises maybe ... my mind is overactive as it is so I try not to send any extra energy up there into that space

Thank you

That means a lot, I'm usually pretty insecure about the way I express myself. I just feel that even in utilising that energy in a physical way, I won't be able to ignore the feeling of unrest that settles in. That leads to me feeling very uncomfortable which leads everyone around me to ask what's wrong and that really doesn't help because I can't very easily express these feelings, or I fear they wouldn't understand. Thank you for putting yourself in my shoes :)
