I'm scared of losing my special interest

I feel that my intrest that lasts 4 years or so is tiring off. And I'm upset and scared of losing it. Its like losing myself. Many years ago my special intrest was Russian. I was highly excited, every time I saw or heard anything in Russian and it has the taste of coffee with orange. It lasted 10 years and I lost it after my step dad convinced me to be like others (I was supposed to find friends,  but it never worked). When I lost my big love, that lasted 10 years, I felt empty from inside, my life pointless,  flat,  lacking taste. While being in love with the Russian I hoped, that this hobby would last forever and never change. I was scared of the possibility of losing or changing my intrest. But it happened.  It was hard. Now I feel tired of the space, although there is an invisible force pushing me there again and again, I'm also scared of losing it. I hoped it would be the last hobby I ever had and would last till the end of my life. I'm scared of another change and tired of everything changing in this crazy world. I'm anxious,  tired, upset. I'm not sure, which factor plays the main role in all this- me having no time for myself,  my meds, or something else...

Just sharing what is upsetting me recently

  • I get that weird mix of panic and sadness when an interest starts feeling shaky. What helps me is treating it like a tide instead of a breakup. Mine come back in sideways ways, like a song or a random fact pulling me in again. Sometimes giving myself permission to step back for a bit actually keeps the door open instead of making it feel like something is slipping away forever.

  • Thank you! Yes, mine started evolving actually,  because I started watching videos about insects for relax. And got a new idea for a sci fi story about aliens, that are huge insects. Intelligent ones. They seem awful and terrifying for humans, but they won't be interested in attacking or eating us. They receive our first radio signals and come to look for something else on our planet.
