Where does passion go?

Where does passion go? Everyone I know, even other people who are depressed have some kind of passion whether its art, poetry,music,etc. But its like I don't care about anything, even the things I should care about I leave by the wayside.
It's like I'm just.. here.

((((siempre))))

You are probably just in a really deep pit at the moment? I really hope that your passion shows itself and that it helps to raise your spirit,

Yes, I know! I have a passion for singing and am an amateur opera singer. That flew out the window and I stopped singing completely when things were at there worst.
I hope you passion comes back for you.

I soooooooo know what you are talking about, I used to have an almost obsessive passion for the things I was interested in, now it's like, whatever. I don't think it's GONE though, I think something just blocks us from feeling what we did.

For me, the hardest part is being depressed about being depressed. Once I accept my depression and do what I can to have a more functional life, I can get passionate.

Heck, I volunteered at a charity stuffing envelopes. I wanted to be the best envelope stuffer I could be. It also helps to know your efforts are appreciated.

It takes some work to get past the bumps in the road. We have to learn to be more resilient. As Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."

I know exactly what you mean. I used to be passionate about the life I lived in general. I loved my work and took pride in it. I used to study medicine all the time. Now I can't find the motivation to crack a book. I will be practicing again in the future so I know I should be studying. That should be motivation enough in itself, but idk... I still just can't find my passion again. I just feel like I am floating through life like a ballon and there is no point in trying bc the wind will take you where it wants to anyway.

I still think it is there too. It is just buried deep under the heavy, wet blanket of depression. I feel like I just have to reach a little farther inside of myself to get a grasp on it. I hope you find the strength to reach down and find your passion again. (((siempre)))

the passion never leaves, it just gets covered with what we are struggling with, I"m very passionate about poetry and learning, but when I hit a low it all slips out of my focus, it's always still there I just have to refocus myself or clear my vision to get back to it.

(((((((((((Siempre))))))))))))))))) Sending peaceful thoughts to you

I know exactly what you're talking about I love art and writing, but lately I haven't been paying them hardly any attention. During the school year I'll create art because I have to for my class, but my motivation to do so on my own is gone. It's sad.

I have a passion for PC; not a typical passion....but it suits me fine

i used to have passion for painting and drawing, even music - but i am totally uninterested now. its weird isnt it. it is just too hard now to find 'inspiration'. its like it involves too much feeling and im just numb to it now.

Siempre, I can relate to how you feel. I feel the same way, have felt this way for years. I wish I had some advice for you, but I don't.
