last year I was completely fascinated by many things, particularly rainsticks, a composer I really love, my spiritual practice, and a particular person who has been a special interest for a long time. Since the start of this year though, I haven’t really had intense interests. I think this possibly intersects with mental health difficulties: I feel like I’m not entirely alive when I’m not deeply engaging with things. Does anyone else experience extended periods with no intense interests? I would love to hear about any ways you have discovered of moving through them and becoming really passionate and invested again.
Had long periods of no interests. Lockdown got me going back to older things i hyperfocused on-mixing records,since lockdown slowly built up FX units,drum machines,keyboards,and can focus on it a little(tho still fatigue!). Maybe find an interest u loved as a kid and start it again. I have started and stopped and restarted collecting things.
All very helpful and excellent ideas, thank you :-)
