Mmmmm.
Things, I know, can bring you down.
Even a happy person can be overwhelmed.

What I might do is..give myself permission to feel all that.
Maybe a wee mourning period for what used to be.

Then start over.
Something new.
A trip to nowhere, an Observatory maybe (it makes one feel
small and puts things in perspective.)

But something really different, that had you not had this
period of..ennui, you might never have experienced.

I work in mental health and as such, I often take on different personas for different clients to build rapport. I do this with different friends as well. You know- the divorced friends either want a woman-hater or one who can talk to women for them; one wants to talk nihilism, one wants you to sit in a car for three hours and not anything. I can be the shoulder to cry on or the guy who kicks you in the backside to motivate you; I can talk for hours with a 50 year old client about Disney movies because he wants nothing more than to be a kid with his parents again. I can talk to anybody, anytime about anything. However, more and more, when I am alone in my apartment, I find I really don't give a **** about much anymore. I find that I can be passionate and enthusiastic about other people's lives but am losing passion for my own. I have what I tell my client's to get- a life, but the umph isn't there much anymore.

What do you do when you lose the passion and motivation?

Hi TBRich, I find that having a friend or two that don't drain or expect anything from me, but instead offer me the energy replenishment via mutually enjoying and stimulating activities (I know I am going to get some comments about this statement but I mean it in a purely platonic and innocent way). For example I find that a long, exhausting hike with a group of friends that are genuinely happy with their own lives, actually rejuvenates me when my energy levels are low or depleted. I have no idea if you read much, but various philosophies e.g. understanding or reading about Reiki or balancing your chakra's could help build-up your passion for you and your own life. I am relatively new to M2 and still reading through forums but I am sure there must be people on this site that are both knowledgable and practice various techniques, and from what I have seen there are many people willing to share their experiences.

Try surrounding yourself with positive people. Not sure where to find them myself. I wish I knew.

try being positive yourself and see what happens.

Thank you

that was not a compliment pie
