lost interest in hobbies

[hlangdon]

I have started losing interest in doing any kind of hobbies i do like knitting and sponge painting. I do pet sitting on the side and now starting to loose interest in that and i have a client starting Sunday. With no car insurance on my car i have to walk to thier house. Its just birds and turtles i have to take care of. Was told today that its ok to miss a day. Not looking forward to the walking in cold weather to their house. At least they live in the same community as I do. My client is aware of my situation. Just sad I cant do any of my other hobbies. I have 3 knitting projects started and never finished. One was started last year at some point and never finished. One painting project needs to be glazed.

I have no hobbies either. Currently just watch YouTubers live out their hobbies etc. I watch people who do video logs.

I used to want to make dolls, crochet things but can't focus ling enough. I have been in this season for a few years. I think it's because of my social and financial issues.

Hi hlangdon , I can’t totally relate to starting and not finishing projects ! How about joining a knitting group ?

[hlangdon in reply to foxglove_pnw]

I tried a knitting group years ago and there was a problem between some of us in the group.

I would encourage to try again ! Meetup.com have great groups !

This is interesting as I started knitting when going through a really horrendous bout of extreme anxiety.

It was the only thing I could do that made me feel half way better

Sounds to me like you are suffering from depression. Losing interest in things we used to love is one of the symptoms.

Have you seen a Dr about this? Of not, I would highly recommend it.

I suffer from depression so I know what it's like and it CAN get worse if not treated.

Listen to the other folks suggestions as well but, if you still can't get interested again, talk with your Dr about this.

Come back and let us know how you're doing.

Hugs,

MJ
