There are 3 hobbies I want to really get into, but no matter what I can't seem to focus on something for a long time. I'll be completely honest, I'm lazy as hell and that's a big part of it. I have a difficult time committing to a project.
I am in college majoring in psychology because I want, or at least I thought I wanted to be an art therapist. I haven't had much inspiration lately and when I do actually draw or something it feels like a chore and I can't seem to enjoy it. I always try to finish as fast as I can so it will be complete (OCD) but over with. I have this problem with my violin as well. I played 1st violin for several years in school, now I can't seem to make myself get into it. I want to be at an amazing level instantly, and if it's not perfect I get upset. I also bought a lot of books on Italian and would like to learn that but again, I'm lazy and these things take work. Maybe I need to stop being such a perfectionist. I start and quit diets within a matter of days because I don't lose the weight fast enough. I have a problem with instant gratification, I spoil myself and have to have things now not later. Wasn't sure where to post this so put it here. Anyway, does anyone else experience this or have any advice?

Hey Blue_Bird!
I have experienced this several times when I am in a depressive episode my pdoc calls it anhedonia. I haven't really found the cure for this, but I can only wish right? You might try joining some social groups that way at least your not the one doing instead you are more or less following the vibe of the group. This helps me make it through these times a little easier. Given I also generally don't want to be bothered or do anything outside of the house during a depressive episode. I really do think that getting in a social club/activity club will be greatly beneficial.  :hug

My old bedroom is a cemetery for 1/2 done or never even begun projects. TBH, I've stopped trying. I'm having issues with art stuff, too.

Maybe try one hobby at a time? I get tons of ideas and feel a drive to start new hobbies and interests when I'm manic (bipolar disorder).
