But it's all block. I don't feel creative.
Can't plan the new floor for the house upstairs, even though all of the materials are here. Haven't had any desire to draw or paint. My studio just sits there. Husband put all my Barbie dolls away as I lost interest in them too. It's more than ordinary depression. I've gone thru these cycles many times and it's bad. I have a million unfinished projects. My apathy is maddening.

Sorry you're feeling this way. I was feeling this way recently... until my depression finally lifted.
Like you, I had horrible, horrible apathy. Nothing interested me and I actually wanted to die. I, too, lost all my creativity. Sometimes it helps me to listen to music when I'm in a mood like that. Music can do wonders for the soul. Sometimes I also do brain-intensive tasks to help put my mind at ease, like Sudoku or other puzzles. If I put the TV on in the background, it helps me drown out some of those negative thoughts. |

bluebike has some good ideas there. i just put on some music, to try to calm my anxiety and busy mind. the song was playing relentlessly in my head anyway, may as well play it for real.
i'm still hypo, as in some racing thoughts, hyper sexual, irritable. I'm up & down with the cleaning sprees. Today, I'm sort of apathetic and feel very meh looking at the projects i started last week. Trying to choose my focus carefully. Telling myself keep moving, did dishes, laundry, made the kiddo a fruit salad, appreciating the redwood trees. they really are a cool tree, furry bark reminds me of a bear. rawrr.. looking at funny memes on fb... i wish i had paints and canvas, but really i think i'd just sit there in apathy too. maybe i'd draw a little dot and call the painting "meh". then laugh. wonder who'd buy that, someone maybe lol. just get through the minutes, one at a time. another mood is always around the corner. something inspiring will come along and you'll feel like a bursting star, maybe. maybe not, idk. i tell myself these kind of things.

Boy do I ever understand. I blame the medication. My art supplies sit untouched gathering dust.

I may be getting some more company. That usually stirs me up.
I don't like to clean. I've always had help. I do like to cook, but recently having the cook do it and put stuff in freezer for me.

Before seroquel made me fat and lazy I loved to clean. I used to vacuum at least three times a day. Lol. Now I do it once a week.
