Is anyone else just not interested in life at all? Like doing new things, meeting people, working, etc. Even things I used to really want out of life. Some things interest me but those are big things that will take a lot of work and pain that I don't find worth it.

Hello! I'm really sorry that you're going through a tough time. I can resonate with those feelings really well. Especially recently. I've been going through a lot and it brought my already soured state down even lower.

So safe to say, you aren't alone when you feel like that. There are some people who are easily unmotivated, drained, and disinterested in life. Sadness grips people in many different ways and it can be expressed through different reactions. Such as anger, emptiness, misery, and the like. Perhaps even multiple of them and other varieties of emotions.

It can be really difficult to do anything when you feel like that. Especially when you just don't want to. When it just feels too taxing to do anything.

So my answer is; take your time. You shouldn't force passion and enthusiasm when it isn't there. You shouldn't push yourself when you're low. Give yourself time to think and relax. Maybe take a walk, open up to a professional, indulge in things that might lift your spirits or at least distract you(like shows, games, etc.), things like that.

Because if you force yourself or let other people force you, it'll hurt. A lot. It'll feel so unnatural and so fake that it'll probably make you feel worse. That's just from my experience, however. You know what's best for you.

Please know that there are always people to talk about things like this to. It doesn't have to be a family member, a friend, a professional, or anything like that. It can be whatever you're comfortable with. Venting always helped me when I felt like this, even towards strangers who volunteered to listen.

I hope you feel better soon!

I can't add much other than saying I also understand. Good advice above about not forcing it.

Hi, I am so sorry you are in this current place. I know exactly how you feel. Has anything major changed in your life lately? Any hormonal changes? Any medical or prescription changed?

I have had major changes in my life within the past year and I just can't seem to get out of my rut and move forward. I don't want to meet anyone new either, and I now hate working. I keep telling myself here is my chance to start over, but I just can't fight my way out.

I hope you can pinpoint your why.
