How common is this and how can you deal with it!

Post Reply New Topic

I decided to put this on its own to see if I could get more response since this has been a huge problem all year and over the past month or so I've become very upset and very anxious and I Iast want to try and do SOMETHING!
It started off with an interest beginning to fade by another one overlapping for a few days or so at the beginning of the year. I would have a short interest but thoughts to do with my main one were coming into my head still. Then it got more and more common for shorter interests to overlap and eventually a few months ago I ended my main interest. It ha become so faded that I said enough was enough. Then the worst bit began, since then I've had three or fours short interests, lasting a week or two. I got an old interest almost a month ago and it was never as strong as my old one- I knew it wouldn't last very long, I said from the beginning but I started writing a story and I made my Halloween costume the same as a character and today I've felt nothing towards it so now I start panicking a feel really really downs dn make myself do something linked to it just so it will cheer me up after a while but I know itl happen again, the same thing it's had it's turn and its going to desert me all over again I just want tit to stay! I want some way, some how to make it stay for a while- a decent while and I want to be secure again! I don't want to have to feel so scared each and everytime that this starts to happen I just want it to stay and be secure, and feel safe I am so insecure with everything about myself and my life. I really need something and the one thing I've always , always ALWAYS!!' HDTV is now turning against me, I've been suicidal again and ive not felt that way for a while!
Can someone please help me!! ! I just want to feel safe in my own head! The one place I should feel safe and I don't anymore! I have nothing when I don't have an interest an then when I do I am always so scared its going to be over soon. When u was younger I didn't even notice that I did it, I wasn't aware and now I am and I hate it so much!! I never feel comfortable and I've got such a horrible time at school at the moment an I think in going to fail the exam that I need to have a future! I feel failed and I, the other day, really realised I've felt awful, slowly worse and worse for the past five years! I don't think I will be able to go back to this on and on and on for forever. I don't think I can continuously cope with my life. I need to fix things an fix them now before I can't do it anymore! I know if I wasn't here it would be too much for my best friend she is such a fantastic person and I do feel that if I wasn't here I would ruin her life and I could never do that I her even though I know how simple it would be!
Please help me, how do I deal with this, how so I get through the agony I am suffering.

You'll probably get better responses here.

Is there a pattern to your interests? It may not be obvious or clear but there could be a commonality between them.

Your hopping from one interest to another could be you trying something out and its not 'it' and going to the next to try it out.

The best way to solve a problem is to break down into its components and those components into their components and seeing it all on the table and figuring out what does what and why...then you get to work on solving it.

Maybe someone already suggested this in a different post, but if you have major depression there is anhedonia which is the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable. If that is the case, there is hope you could once again enjoy your interests if the depression was lifted.
