Lost Curiosity-How to Ignite?

[Anonymous]

Take up something creative - learn to play the piano, or guitar, or flute. Learn how to throw pottery, do oil painting or make a sculpture

This is Op. I guess part of it is that I lack the motivation to start anything new like piano or art. This wasn’t a problem when I was younger, and I had so much more drive and interest in life,

I think part of it is the divorce made me so tired. Not depressed, because I am much better off without him. Just kind of spent. I feel exhausted and boring and like I don’t have a lot to give to someone new.

You have to just do it anyway. This is a fake it til you make it situation.

DP: yeah, do it anyway. Also, be open to the possibility that you might be depressed and/or grieving — just labeling it something different. Loss of interest or pleasure in enjoyable activities is one of the signs of depression. So is fatigue. I’m not saying that you are depressed — more that being open to the possibility might lead you to some useful interventions.
