Hey. I have a problem lately of not wanting to do anything. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, not sure if it'll help with what I'm about to say.
Anyway, I don't know if it's related or not but, lately I've seen myself as being extremely lazy and not wanting to do anything. I can't do things I love doing for more than 10 minutes before I quit and do something else that involves staring into space.
What are some ways I can increase my will of wanting to do things? Cause it's kind of annoying that I can't do things I want to do or love to do without getting a bored or "meh" feeling after 5-15 minutes.
You sound just like me. Actually, I'm going to a therapist in a few days to be diagnosed to see if I'm bipolar.
How are things?
I wish you the best of luck! Actually things aren't too bad right now, I'm still in the same situation as described above but I can't complain. I've literally spent this whole time sitting in my room staring at my TV, hah.
Since I rarely come here there's a delay in me replying. Sorry. It'll probably be days until you see this -- seriously why do we come here?! It's like some graveyard of the internet.
Anyway, if you want a quicker form of communication, I made a BitMessage address: BM-NBJmBTVCZn65R5btJR7iZyJVqsEnqV43 -- The software is simple enough to use. I got round to making a doctor's appointment to be diagnosed.
What do you do when you feel depressed? Do you have any meds?
Shit I just realized the ID has changed :/
I'm in the same boat as you guys.
I think that the main root of the problem is an overwhelming feeling of apathy, and a general lack of any aspirations, goals, or wants.
Ever since I can remember all of my motivation has been extrinsic. During late middle school and high school, however, my slightly schizoid personally began to strengthen to the point where I simply didn't care and didn't about most anything social. I still enjoyed browsing imageboards and such, I think because that was impersonal rather that interpersonal social interaction.
Anyway, since I didn't care about other people anymore I lost virtually all of my motivation. Now I'm just content to sit and do nothing all day, and I really don't think I would be bothered if I was told that I would die tomorrow. I still have some thoughts of becoming proficient in a skill, or becoming an autodidact or something, but these are just idle romantic thoughts that I don't desire enough to actually get up off my ass and work for. I feel like I should change, but on the other hand I'm content, so I'm probably going to stay like this forever.
